Analysis

Remington College-Cleveland's Allied Health program starts with concerning low earnings but shows promising momentum that deserves attention. While graduates earn just $27,695 in their first year—well below both the national median of $36,862 and Ohio's $35,365—earnings jump significantly to $36,776 by year four, representing strong 33% growth that outpaces many programs.

The debt picture adds complexity to this trajectory. At $24,121, student debt exceeds both national and state medians, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.87 that's manageable but not ideal for the starting salary. However, the robust earnings growth means graduates are moving toward better financial footing relatively quickly. Among Ohio's 53 allied health programs, this ranks in just the 25th percentile for earnings, with top performers like Cincinnati State earning $41,891—about $5,000 more annually.

The program primarily serves students receiving Pell grants (98%), suggesting it fills an important access role for lower-income students. While the starting salary is disappointing, the strong earnings trajectory indicates graduates develop marketable skills over time. Parents should weigh this delayed payoff against programs with stronger immediate earning potential, but the upward trend suggests this isn't a dead-end investment for students who can weather the initial financial challenge.
