Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at Remington College-Cleveland Campus

Remington College-Cleveland's dental support program produces starting salaries well below what you'd expect in this field. At $21,721 in the first year, graduates earn about $3,500 less than the national median and nearly $3,000 below Ohio's typical program. While the program ranks at the 40th percentile within Ohio—meaning it's roughly average for the state—it falls to just the 19th percentile nationally, indicating Ohio itself may be a weaker market for these careers.

The program does show promise with 23% earnings growth over four years, and the debt load of $9,500 is manageable with a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44. However, even after four years of experience, graduates still earn less than what typical programs produce right out of the gate. The 98% Pell grant rate suggests this serves primarily low-income students who may have limited alternatives, but that doesn't change the economics.

For parents considering this investment, the numbers point toward exploring other options first. Several Ohio programs significantly outperform Remington—Stark State College graduates earn nearly $11,000 more annually. Unless location or scheduling constraints make Remington the only viable choice, your child would likely see better returns from alternative dental support programs within the state.
