Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma

This Allied Health program at Remington College-Cleveland presents a concerning value proposition that warrants serious consideration. While the debt load is relatively manageable at $14,120—well below both national and state medians—the earnings outcomes are disappointing. Graduates earn $24,037 in their first year, which ranks in just the 22nd percentile nationally and 40th percentile among Ohio programs. Even more troubling, other Ohio schools demonstrate significantly better outcomes, with top performers like Sinclair Community College producing graduates earning $43,380—nearly double what Remington graduates typically see.
The program does offer some positives: the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 is reasonable, and earnings do grow 10% over four years to $26,469. However, this growth still leaves graduates earning about $800 less than the Ohio median and $700 below the national average. With 98% of students receiving Pell grants, the student population is predominantly low-income, making strong earnings outcomes particularly important for financial mobility.
The bottom line: while this program won't saddle your child with crushing debt, it's likely to produce below-average earnings in a field where better options exist within Ohio. Consider exploring higher-performing alternatives like Sinclair Community College or other programs that demonstrate stronger graduate outcomes before committing to Remington College-Cleveland.
