Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-Houston Southeast Campus
Associate's Degree
Analysis
Remington College's allied health program produces concerning outcomes that place it near the bottom of Texas options. With first-year earnings of $27,695, graduates earn significantly less than the Texas median of $44,175 for this field—ranking in just the 10th percentile statewide. Even compared nationally, this program sits in the 15th percentile, suggesting systemic underperformance rather than regional market conditions.
The debt picture compounds these concerns. While the $24,121 median debt isn't extreme, it creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.87 when paired with such low starting salaries. Graduates at top Texas programs like San Jacinto Community College earn nearly double ($52,032) what Remington students make initially. The 33% earnings growth to $36,776 by year four helps but still leaves graduates well below what peers at other Texas schools earn in their first year.
For families considering this investment, the math is straightforward: you'll pay above-average debt for below-average outcomes in a state with much stronger alternatives. Community colleges across Texas consistently deliver superior results in this field. Unless location constraints make Remington the only viable option, parents should strongly consider redirecting their investment toward proven performers like San Jacinto or Navarro College, where graduates start their careers earning what Remington students might never reach.
