Health and Medical Administrative Services at Remington College-Dallas Campus

This program delivers concerning value despite strong earnings growth over four years. With first-year median earnings of just $21,686—placing graduates in the 5th percentile nationally and 25th percentile in Texas—students start far behind peers from other programs. While earnings do grow an impressive 30% to $28,202 by year four, this still falls short of what graduates from top Texas programs like Galveston College ($34,532) or Dallas College ($34,135) earn right out of the gate.

The debt picture is manageable at $10,560, creating a reasonable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49, but this modest debt load can't offset the program's fundamental weakness in launching careers. Among Texas's 97 health administration programs, there are clearly much stronger options that provide significantly higher starting salaries. The fact that 92% of students receive Pell grants suggests this program serves a low-income population, making the below-average earnings outcomes particularly concerning.

For parents considering this investment, the numbers suggest looking elsewhere. Community colleges like Dallas College or Galveston College offer the same credential type but deliver starting salaries $12,000-13,000 higher—a substantial difference that compounds over a career. The strong earnings growth here indicates the field has potential, but other Texas programs appear to provide much better entry points into these careers.
