Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications at Remington College-Fort Worth Campus

Remington College-Fort Worth's networking program serves a predominantly low-income student population (85% on Pell grants) but struggles to deliver competitive outcomes. With first-year earnings of $35,702, graduates earn about $7,500 less than the national median and roughly $2,500 below the Texas median for this degree. While the program sits at the 40th percentile statewide—meaning it's essentially middle-of-the-pack in Texas—nearby community colleges like Austin and Houston Community College are producing graduates who earn $7,000-$11,000 more annually for similar credentials.

The debt load of $22,700 isn't unusually high for this field, but when paired with below-average earnings, it creates a debt-to-income ratio of 0.64—manageable but not comfortable given the earning potential. The minimal 4% earnings growth over four years means graduates shouldn't expect significant salary progression early in their careers.

One critical caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so individual results could vary considerably. For families considering this program, the question is whether the convenience or support services at Remington justify paying similar tuition for weaker outcomes than Texas community colleges offer. Unless there's a compelling reason to choose this campus specifically, the data suggests exploring alternatives like Dallas College or Houston Community College first.
