Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-Dallas Campus

This Remington College program presents significant red flags that should give any parent pause. While the debt load is relatively manageable at $14,120, the earnings outcomes are deeply concerning—graduates earn just $24,037 in their first year, which ranks in only the 22nd percentile nationally for this field. Even four years out, earnings barely improve to $26,469, still trailing the national median of $27,186.

The Texas comparison is particularly telling. Among the 89 schools offering this program in Texas, Remington ranks at just the 40th percentile for earnings, while top performers like Houston Community College and Lone Star College System produce graduates earning $35,000+ annually—nearly 50% more than Remington's outcomes. With 92% of students receiving Pell grants, this program primarily serves low-income students who can least afford poor employment outcomes.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 isn't catastrophic, but when combined with below-average earnings in a field where stronger programs exist nearby, it's difficult to recommend. Your child would likely be better served by community college alternatives that cost less and deliver significantly better career prospects. This is a case where the institution matters tremendously—the same certificate from a different school could mean thousands more in annual earnings.
