Analysis

Remington College's business management program shows concerning outcomes even when measured against Texas schools serving similar student populations. At $26,287 in first-year earnings, graduates earn about $6,500 less than the Texas median for this degree—and nearly $8,000 less than what graduates earn at Dallas College, a public institution just miles away. The 25th percentile ranking among Texas programs means three-quarters of comparable programs deliver better results.

The earnings trajectory makes the picture worse. Instead of gaining ground as graduates build experience, median earnings actually decline to $25,011 by year four—a 5% drop that's rare among business programs. Meanwhile, the $21,750 in median debt exceeds what 75% of programs nationally charge for this credential. With 92% of students receiving Pell grants, this debt burden falls heavily on families with limited resources, and the 0.83 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates face nearly a year's salary in debt for credentials that aren't translating to competitive wages.

For families considering a business degree in Dallas, the public alternatives present a fundamentally different value equation. Programs at Dallas College or the Lone Star system deliver 60-65% higher earnings with comparable or lower debt loads. Unless this specific program offers unique circumstances that justify the premium—specialized industry connections or schedule flexibility that matters significantly—the data suggests looking elsewhere will serve students better.
