Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at Miller-Motte College-Berks Technical Institute

This Miller-Motte program presents significant concerns that should give you pause. With first-year earnings of just $19,134, graduates earn substantially less than both the national average ($25,255) and Pennsylvania median ($26,998) for dental support programs. Ranking in only the 5th percentile nationally means 95% of similar programs produce better earnings outcomes. Even within Pennsylvania's 21 dental support programs, this ranks in just the 25th percentile—meaning three-quarters of in-state alternatives deliver superior results.

The debt picture offers some relief, with $11,825 being relatively modest and creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.62. However, when graduates are earning nearly $7,000 less than the state median in their first year, even reasonable debt becomes harder to service. The 17% earnings growth to $22,287 by year four helps but still leaves graduates trailing their peers significantly.

The stark reality is that Pennsylvania offers multiple stronger alternatives in this field. Programs at Institute of Medical Careers ($28,910) and YTI Career Institute ($27,842) produce graduates earning 50% more in their first year. Unless this program offers unique advantages like location convenience or specialized training not reflected in the data, you'd likely see better returns on your investment at other Pennsylvania schools offering dental support certificates.
