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

Miller-Motte College's Allied Health program delivers concerning results that should give you pause. With first-year earnings of $22,869, graduates earn significantly less than both the national median ($27,186) and Georgia's median ($27,457) for similar programs. The program ranks in just the 13th percentile nationally and 25th percentile within Georgia—meaning 75-87% of comparable programs produce better-earning graduates.

The debt picture adds another red flag. While the $16,500 debt load ranks favorably in the 5th percentile nationally (meaning it's lower than most programs), it's still 74% higher than Georgia's typical debt for this field ($10,916). More troubling is the complete lack of earnings growth—graduates earn virtually the same four years out as they do initially, suggesting limited career advancement opportunities. When you can attend programs like Southern Crescent Technical College or Lanier Technical College and potentially earn $10,000+ more annually with similar or lower debt, the value proposition becomes questionable.

The bottom line: This program appears to be an expensive path to below-average outcomes in a field where better, more affordable options exist throughout Georgia. Given that 90% of students here receive Pell grants, many families are likely taking on unnecessary financial risk for subpar results.
