Analysis

With earnings below $27,000 and actually declining to $25,000 by year four, this program struggles compared to other Ohio business administration options. While the debt load of $21,750 isn't astronomical, it's still nearly a year's worth of salaryβ€”and that ratio worsens as earnings drop. More concerning is the state context: this program ranks in just the 25th percentile among Ohio business programs, where the typical graduate earns $37,121. Multiple community colleges in the state, including Sinclair and Cincinnati State, report graduates earning near $46,000, nearly double what Remington Cleveland delivers.

The 98% Pell grant rate indicates this program serves a genuinely disadvantaged student population, which makes the outcomes more troubling. Students borrowing close to $22,000 deserve a clearer path to financial stability than earnings that hover around $25,000. For context, these figures place graduates well below living wage thresholds in Cleveland, and the negative earnings trajectory suggests limited career advancement in the first several years.

Ohio families have substantially better options. If the appeal is staying local and completing a two-year program, Cincinnati State or Sinclair offer similar associate's degrees with earnings trajectories that are nearly twice as strong. Even factoring in the school's mission to serve high-need students, the outcomes gap is too significant to overlook.
