Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-Fort Worth Campus

This Remington College program presents a mixed value proposition that requires careful consideration. While the debt load is exceptionally low—ranking in the 11th percentile nationally at just $14,120—the earnings outcomes are concerning. Graduates earn significantly less than both national ($27,186) and state ($24,563) medians for medical assisting programs, landing in just the 22nd percentile nationally despite performing slightly better within Texas (40th percentile).

The earnings trajectory tells a troubling story: starting salaries of $24,037 barely budge over four years, reaching only $26,469—suggesting limited career advancement potential. When you compare this to top Texas programs like Houston Community College ($35,469) or Lone Star College System ($33,233), the opportunity cost becomes clear. Those programs offer nearly $9,000-11,000 more in starting salary, which would quickly offset any difference in program costs.

The positive debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 means the financial burden is manageable, and with 85% of students receiving Pell grants, affordability appears to be a priority. However, given that medical assisting is a field with generally modest pay growth, starting behind your peers means staying behind throughout your career. Consider whether the convenience of this specific location justifies accepting substantially lower earning potential compared to other Texas options.
