Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Miller-Motte College-Charleston

Miller-Motte College-Charleston's allied health program ranks at the bottom 10th percentile both nationally and within South Carolina—a significant red flag for prospective students. While the debt load of $27,403 isn't exceptionally high compared to national standards, it becomes problematic when paired with first-year earnings of just $25,988, creating a debt-to-income ratio that exceeds 1:1.

The stark contrast with other South Carolina options tells the story clearly. Top-performing programs at Greenville Technical College and Midlands Technical College produce graduates earning around $44,000—nearly $18,000 more annually than Miller-Motte graduates. Even mid-tier options like Piedmont Technical College outperform Miller-Motte by over $4,000 per year. With 12 programs available across the state, families have significantly better alternatives.

The modest 5% earnings growth over four years suggests limited advancement potential, and the program's consistent bottom-tier performance indicates systemic issues rather than temporary market conditions. Given the robust sample size of 100+ graduates, these results are reliable. Parents should strongly consider the higher-performing technical colleges in South Carolina, which offer superior earning potential in the same field with similar or lower debt burdens.
