Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-Lafayette Campus

This Allied Health program at Remington College-Lafayette presents a mixed picture that requires careful consideration. While the debt burden is quite reasonable at $14,120—well below both national and state medians—the earnings outcomes are concerning. Graduates earn $24,037 in their first year, which ranks in just the 22nd percentile nationally, meaning 78% of similar programs produce better outcomes. However, within Louisiana's competitive landscape, this program performs better at the 60th percentile, suggesting it's a decent in-state option despite national weaknesses.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 is manageable, and earnings do grow 10% over four years to $26,469, though this still lags behind stronger Louisiana programs like Delgado Community College ($29,905) and Baton Rouge Community College ($28,935). The fact that 97% of students receive Pell grants indicates this serves a predominantly low-income population, which may explain the moderate debt levels but also suggests limited financial flexibility for graduates.

For Louisiana residents, this program offers reasonable debt and performs adequately within the state, but it's clearly not among the top performers. If your child can access higher-ranking in-state programs like Delgado or Baton Rouge Community College, those would likely provide better value. This program could work as a backup option, but the below-average national performance should give you pause about long-term earning potential.
