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

Remington College-Dallas graduates enter dental assisting earning around $52,500—about $4,000 below the Texas median and $2,500 below the national average for this program. More concerning, they carry $29,000 in debt, significantly above both the state median ($25,250) and national median ($19,309). Compare this to nearby options: Tarrant County College District graduates earn $65,500, and several other Texas programs crack $60,000, often with lower debt loads.

The numbers reveal why this matters practically: at $52,500 annually, you're looking at monthly loan payments consuming a larger chunk of take-home pay than at better-performing programs. The 40th percentile ranking among Texas dental programs means six out of ten comparable schools deliver stronger outcomes. That debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.55 isn't catastrophic, but it's unnecessarily high given that community colleges and other private institutions offer this same credential with better financial outcomes.

For a family considering this program, the student body composition (92% receiving Pell grants) suggests Remington serves students with limited resources—yet those students end up with above-average debt and below-average earnings. Unless location or scheduling constraints make other options impossible, Texas families should explore community colleges or higher-performing private programs first. The modest $700 earnings bump over four years offers little cushion for that debt burden.
