Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Concorde Career College-Grand Prairie

Concorde Career College-Grand Prairie turns out allied health graduates earning roughly $10,000 less than the typical Texas program in this field. While the first-year median of $49,758 sits below both state ($55,965) and national ($54,327) benchmarks, the 19% earnings growth over four years shows clear career progression—graduates reach nearly $60,000 by year four.

The debt picture requires careful consideration. At $21,875, it exceeds both the Texas median ($17,249) and national average ($19,113), though the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44 remains manageable. Still, when you compare this to top Texas programs like Hill College (where graduates earn $78,100) or even Houston Community College ($67,098), the value gap becomes apparent. Your child would be paying more debt for below-average outcomes in a state with numerous stronger alternatives.

The school serves a predominantly low-income student population (75% receive Pell grants) and accepts all applicants, which may partly explain the performance gap. For families specifically looking at career colleges in the Grand Prairie area, understand that community colleges across Texas consistently deliver better earnings outcomes in allied health programs, often with lower debt loads. If mobility isn't an issue, exploring those options would likely provide better return on investment.
