The local job market
Who hires HIM staff in Madison.
Madison is a college town of about 6,000, home to Dakota State University, and the local hospital is Madison Regional Health System. Nobody builds an HIM career on Madison alone; the realistic map is Sioux Falls, 50 minutes south, where Sanford Health and Avera run two of the largest health systems in the upper Midwest, plus the remote coding market that fully online credentials unlock.

You are not limited to campus
Online HIM programs work from Madison too.
HIM is one of the few healthcare fields you can train for entirely online: 206 of the 350 CAHIIM-accredited programs nationwide are fully online, and 1 of the 3 Madison programs is too. Employers verify the CAHIIM accreditation and the RHIT or RHIA credential; where the campus sits doesn't come up.
So compare the Madison options against the fully online programs and the rest of the South Dakota field before you decide. Local can still win on price (community and technical colleges usually beat private online tuition) and on clinical-site relationships, but it should win on the merits, not by default.
