Analysis

Concorde Career College-Dallas graduates earn about $6,000 more annually than the typical medical administrative services program in Texas, placing it solidly in the 60th percentile statewide. Starting at $29,536 and climbing to $31,784 after four years, these earnings beat the national benchmark but trail the top community college programs in the state by roughly $3,000-$5,000. The $9,500 debt load is manageable—just 32% of first-year earnings—though it sits at the state median, meaning half of Texas programs send students out with less debt.

The 8% earnings growth over four years is modest but steady, and the program serves a predominantly Pell-eligible population (61%) while maintaining reasonable outcomes. The moderate sample size suggests this isn't a flagship program, but the data is reliable enough to draw conclusions. For context, community colleges like Dallas College and San Jacinto offer stronger earning potential at likely lower cost, though Concorde's open admission policy (97% acceptance) may appeal to students who need flexible entry requirements.

This program delivers what it promises: accessible training that leads to slightly above-average earnings for the field. If your child is set on private career training and values convenience, the debt-to-earnings ratio won't create financial hardship. But if they can navigate community college admission, they'll likely save money upfront and earn more afterward.
