Legal Support Services at Miller-Motte College-Conway

Starting at $27,479 may feel discouraging, but the trajectory tells a more optimistic story: graduates see 23% earnings growth by year four, reaching $33,880. While this program ranks in just the 10th percentile nationally, it performs closer to the middle of the pack within South Carolina (40th percentile), where several comparable programs produce similar outcomes. The problem is the debt load—at $30,263, it exceeds both state and national medians and ranks in the 6th percentile nationally, meaning very few legal support programs saddle students with this much debt.

The math is tight: graduates owe 1.10 times their first-year salary, requiring careful budgeting in those early years. With over half the students receiving Pell grants, many families here are already stretching limited resources. Compare this to Greenville Technical or Midlands Technical, where graduates earn $10,000+ more annually with similar or lower debt—those programs offer substantially better return on investment.

If your child is set on this career path and this location works logistically, the earnings growth suggests the degree does lead somewhere. But the high debt relative to outcomes means exploring other SC technical colleges first makes financial sense. The difference between owing $30,000 versus $25,000 matters significantly when you're earning in the high twenties.
