Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Miller-Motte College-Berks Technical Institute-Allentown

Miller-Motte College's allied health program ranks among the lowest performers nationally, placing in just the 10th percentile for graduate earnings. While first-year graduates earn $25,988—about $11,000 below the national median for this field—the debt burden of $27,403 actually exceeds typical first-year income. Even within Pennsylvania's competitive landscape, this program underperforms, earning $7,000 less than the state median.

The concerning pattern becomes clearer when comparing to nearby alternatives. Community colleges like Allegheny County deliver graduates earning $36,439—nearly $11,000 more annually—while typically charging far less. Even accounting for Miller-Motte's modest 5% earnings growth over four years, graduates still lag significantly behind peers from other institutions. With 60% of students receiving Pell grants, many families are taking on substantial debt for below-average outcomes.

The math here is straightforward: your child would likely earn more and owe less by choosing almost any other allied health program in Pennsylvania. Unless there are compelling personal circumstances that make Miller-Motte the only viable option, this program represents poor value compared to readily available alternatives.
