Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Milan Institute-Las Vegas

Milan Institute-Las Vegas graduates earn about $24,500 in their first year—roughly $4,000 below Nevada's state median for medical assisting programs and $2,600 below the national average. Among Nevada's 10 allied health programs, this ranks at the 40th percentile, placing it in the bottom half. Notably, four other Las Vegas-area programs show first-year earnings of $29,000 or higher, suggesting students have better local alternatives.

The debt load of $9,235 is manageable in absolute terms, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38, but it's higher than 77% of comparable programs nationwide. Earnings do grow 8% over four years to $26,477, though even at that level graduates remain significantly behind their Nevada peers. With three-quarters of students receiving Pell grants, many families here are stretching tight budgets and need programs that deliver strong returns.

For Las Vegas families, this program trails local competitors by $5,000 to $8,000 annually—a meaningful gap when starting salaries are already modest. Before committing, compare outcomes at Carrington or Pima Medical Institute, where similar credentials appear to open doors to better-paying entry positions in the same metro area.
