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

This program presents significant concerns that should give any parent pause. With first-year earnings of just $22,869 and virtually no income growth over four years ($22,935), graduates earn substantially less than both the national median ($27,186) and Oklahoma state median ($25,843) for similar programs. The program ranks in only the 13th percentile nationally and 40th percentile within Oklahoma—meaning 87% of similar programs nationwide produce better-earning graduates.

While the debt load of $16,500 isn't catastrophic, it's notably higher than both state ($13,192) and national ($9,500) medians for this field. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.72 means graduates will likely struggle with loan payments on these low salaries. When you can earn $6,000+ more annually at nearby Tulsa Technology Center or Community Care College with similar training, the value proposition becomes questionable.

The high percentage of Pell Grant recipients (82%) suggests this program serves a predominantly low-income student population, but the outcomes don't justify the investment. Your child would be better served exploring the higher-performing programs in Oklahoma, particularly Tulsa Technology Center, which offers the same credential but delivers significantly better earning potential in the same local job market.
