Health and Medical Administrative Services at Remington College-Houston Southeast Campus

This program's biggest red flag is its extremely low starting salaries—graduates earn just $21,686 in their first year, placing it in the 5th percentile nationally for health administrative programs. While it performs slightly better within Texas (25th percentile), it still falls well below the state median of $25,639. The debt load of $10,560 is reasonable and typical for certificate programs, but when paired with such low initial earnings, it creates a concerning financial picture.

The 30% earnings growth from year one to four is genuinely impressive and suggests graduates do advance in their careers. However, even after four years, median earnings of $28,202 remain below what many programs achieve right out of the gate. Compare this to top Texas programs like Galveston College, where graduates start at $34,532—63% higher than this program's first-year outcomes.

Given that 92% of students receive Pell grants, this serves a financially vulnerable population that particularly needs strong career outcomes. While the debt isn't crushing and earnings do grow, there are significantly better options available in Texas for health administrative training. Unless there are compelling location or scheduling factors, prospective students should explore community colleges and other institutions that deliver stronger immediate earning potential in this field.
