Health and Medical Administrative Services at Remington College-Cleveland Campus
Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma
Analysis
This program delivers concerning results that should raise red flags for prospective students. With first-year earnings of just $21,686, graduates earn significantly less than both the national median ($27,783) and Ohio median ($28,570) for this field—ranking in only the 5th percentile nationally. While the program shows strong 30% earnings growth over four years, graduates still earn $400 less than the state median by year four.
The debt burden of $10,560 creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49, which isn't catastrophic, but the opportunity cost is substantial. Other Ohio schools like Stark State College produce graduates earning $36,006—nearly $15,000 more in first-year earnings. Even among Ohio programs, this ranks in just the 25th percentile, meaning three-quarters of similar programs in the state deliver better outcomes.
The 98% Pell grant rate indicates this program primarily serves low-income students who need strong employment outcomes to justify the investment. Unfortunately, those outcomes fall well short of what's available elsewhere in Ohio. Unless you have compelling reasons to choose this specific location, your child would likely see significantly better returns from higher-performing programs at institutions like Stark State or the University of Cincinnati system, which offer the same credential with substantially higher earning potential.
