Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Concorde Career College-Kansas City

Concorde Career College's medical assisting program produces graduates who earn slightly less than the Missouri state median, ranking in just the 40th percentile among the state's 24 programs offering this credential. While graduates start at $27,598 and see modest growth to $28,436 by year four, they're earning about $2,000 less annually than typical Missouri medical assistants and significantly trailing top-performing programs like Three Rivers College, where graduates earn over $35,000.

The debt picture offers some consolation—at $9,500, it matches the national median and sits below Missouri's typical $10,292. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.34, meaning graduates can realistically pay off their loans. The program serves a population where 54% receive Pell grants, suggesting it provides accessible career training for students from lower-income backgrounds.

However, parents should recognize this represents a middle-of-the-pack option in Missouri's competitive landscape. With nearly open admission (99% acceptance rate), the program prioritizes access over selectivity, but the earnings outcomes suggest students might find better returns elsewhere in the state. For families prioritizing debt minimization and quick workforce entry, this works, but those seeking maximum earning potential should explore higher-performing alternatives within Missouri's robust medical assisting program options.
