Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Miller-Motte College-STVT-Corpus Christi

This Miller-Motte program presents a concerning financial picture that should give parents pause. While the debt load is relatively manageable at $16,500 (well below national and state averages), the earnings are troublingly low—ranking in just the 13th percentile nationally and 40th percentile within Texas. Most alarming is the complete lack of earnings growth over four years, with graduates earning essentially the same $22,900 whether they're fresh out or four years into their careers.

The program significantly underperforms both state and national benchmarks, with graduates earning about $2,000 less than the typical Texas program and $4,300 less than the national median. When you consider that top-performing programs in Texas like Houston Community College produce graduates earning $35,000+, the opportunity cost becomes stark. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.72 is reasonable, but that's small comfort when the earnings themselves are so low.

Given that 80% of students receive Pell grants, this program appears to be targeting students who can least afford a poor return on investment. While the sample size is robust, making these numbers reliable, parents should strongly consider community college alternatives that offer better earning potential in the same field. The data suggests this particular program may not provide the economic mobility families are seeking from higher education.
