Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Concorde Career College-North Hollywood

Concorde Career College-North Hollywood charges above-average debt for below-average outcomes in California's allied health market. While first-year earnings of $55,067 beat the national median slightly, graduates earn about $7,000 less than the typical California program in this field—landing this program in just the 40th percentile statewide. That gap matters when California offers dozens of community college options where graduates routinely earn $80,000-$100,000+ in this same career path.

The debt picture compounds this concern. At $24,375, graduates carry the same median debt as the California average but without the earnings to match. The 0.44 debt-to-earnings ratio is manageable in absolute terms, but it's a worse deal than what most California programs deliver. The 19% earnings growth to $65,550 by year four helps close the gap somewhat, though graduates still lag behind their community college counterparts who started with much higher salaries and often lower debt.

For California families, this is a straightforward comparison: community colleges across the state produce allied health graduates earning $20,000-$50,000 more annually. Unless location or program timing creates an exceptional circumstance, your child would likely see better returns from the public college alternatives that dominate the top of this field in California.
