Culinary Arts at Remington College-Dallas Campus

With earnings of $25,389 and just $9,500 in debt, Remington College-Dallas graduates enter the culinary workforce with one of the better financial setups you'll find in this field. That debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.37 means students owe roughly four-and-a-half months of first-year income—manageable by any standard. While the program doesn't quite match Dallas College's stronger $30,484 outcomes, it outperforms most other Texas culinary programs and beats both state and national medians by about $4,000 annually.

The caveat here matters: with fewer than 30 graduates in this cohort, these numbers could shift significantly year to year. A small program serving a predominantly Pell-eligible student body (92%) may not have the stability of larger institutions. That said, the combination of below-average debt and above-average earnings suggests the program delivers reasonable value when it comes to launching a culinary career.

For families weighing culinary education options in the Dallas area, this program offers a relatively affordable entry point with first-year earnings that exceed what most graduates see nationally. Just recognize you're looking at limited data from a small cohort, so individual results may vary more than at established programs with larger track records.
