Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at Concorde Career College-San Antonio

This San Antonio dental support program manages a respectable showing against state competition, landing graduates at 60th percentile earnings within Texas—an achievement worth noting given the state's 41 competing programs. That $29,466 four-year mark beats both state and national medians, and the 24% earnings growth from year one to year four suggests meaningful skill development. While the program doesn't reach the $27,000+ territory of the top Pima Medical campuses, it outperforms the typical Texas graduate in this field.

The $9,500 debt burden seems reasonable on paper—it's exactly the national median—but against that $23,712 starting salary, your child would be dedicating roughly 40% of their first year's earnings to loan payoff if they tackled it aggressively. That's manageable but tight, especially in San Antonio's market where living costs add up quickly. The robust sample size (over 100 graduates tracked) means these numbers reflect actual outcomes, not anomalies.

For a family needing a quick credential that leads to steady work, this program offers a credible path into dental offices without catastrophic debt. It's not elite-tier, but it delivers better-than-average Texas outcomes for students willing to start at $24,000 and work up from there. Just understand you're paying for immediate employment, not high earnings—the four-year mark still sits below $30,000.
