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

Remington College-Memphis delivers earnings that lag significantly behind both national and state standards for Allied Health programs. While graduates see strong 33% earnings growth from $27,695 to $36,776 over four years, they're starting from a much lower base—ranking in just the 15th percentile nationally and 25th percentile within Tennessee. The state's community colleges consistently produce graduates earning $40,000-$45,000 in their first year, compared to Remington's $27,695.

The debt picture adds another layer of concern. At $24,121, graduates carry the state median debt load but earn substantially less than their peers, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.87. With 91% of students receiving Pell grants, most families are already facing financial constraints, making the program's underperformance relative to more affordable community college alternatives particularly troubling.

Despite the encouraging earnings trajectory, starting nearly $10,000 below the state median creates a significant disadvantage that takes years to overcome. Tennessee families should seriously consider the state's community colleges, which offer similar programs with dramatically better first-year outcomes and likely lower costs. The gap in early earnings is simply too wide to ignore when better options exist nearby.
