Analysis

This Remington College program delivers concerning results that should give parents serious pause. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population (85% receive Pell grants), graduates earn just $21,686 in their first year—significantly below both the national median of $27,783 and Texas median of $25,639 for this field. The program ranks in only the 5th percentile nationally and 25th percentile among Texas programs, meaning 95% of similar programs nationwide produce better outcomes.

The debt picture offers some relief, with $10,560 in median debt creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49. However, this modest debt load doesn't compensate for the weak earning potential. Even after four years, graduates typically earn just $28,202—still below what many programs deliver immediately after graduation. Top-performing Texas programs like Galveston College and Dallas College produce first-year earnings of $34,000+, demonstrating that much better outcomes are achievable in this state.

The 30% earnings growth from year one to four shows graduates do advance, but they're starting from such a low baseline that even with growth, they lag behind peers. Given the robust sample size, these results are reliable. For parents considering this investment, community colleges and other Texas institutions offer dramatically better earning potential in the same field for similar or lower cost.
