Analysis

This Remington College program presents a concerning value proposition, with first-year earnings of $21,686 placing it in just the 5th percentile nationally—meaning 95% of similar programs produce better outcomes. While the program performs better within Louisiana (40th percentile), graduates still earn nearly $1,000 less than the state median and significantly trail top Louisiana programs like Delgado Community College, which produces graduates earning $28,354.

The debt picture offers some relief, with $10,560 being reasonable and creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49. More encouraging is the 30% earnings growth from year one to year four, suggesting graduates can advance their careers over time. However, even after four years, median earnings of $28,202 only barely exceed what many competing programs deliver in the first year.

The bottom line: while this program serves a predominantly low-income student population (97% receive Pell grants) and offers decent earnings growth potential, your child would likely be better served by alternatives like Delgado Community College or LSU-Eunice, which offer superior early-career earnings for similar debt levels. The program's poor national ranking should give pause, especially when stronger options exist within Louisiana.
