Legal Support Services at Remington College-Dallas Campus

The $24,616 starting salary from this program ranks in just the 5th percentile nationally for legal support programs—meaning 95% of similar programs produce better initial outcomes. While graduates do see substantial earnings growth to $45,010 by year four, that recovery period matters when you're carrying $27,358 in debt from day one. Compare this to Dallas College, which produces legal support graduates earning $33,381 (35% more initially) with likely lower debt as a community college option right in the same city.

The small sample size here demands caution—with fewer than 30 graduates tracked, a few unusual cases could skew these numbers significantly. That said, the data we have shows students starting at poverty-level wages while managing debt payments that exceed their entire first year's income. The 92% Pell grant rate indicates this program serves predominantly low-income students, making that debt burden especially risky.

If your child is set on legal support work in Dallas, the community college route appears substantially safer. The four-year earnings bump looks impressive on paper, but it requires weathering three years of financial stress that other nearby programs don't impose. With tuition at public community colleges a fraction of for-profit costs, the total investment picture likely favors those alternatives even more than the debt figures here suggest.
