Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians at Remington College-Memphis Campus

A debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30 suggests this program could work financially—if the estimated figures hold true. Based on comparable computer engineering technology programs nationally, graduates typically earn around $43,000 in their first year while carrying roughly $13,000 in debt. That's actually lower debt than the national median for this field, which sits at $17,000. For a program serving a student body where 91% receive Pell grants, keeping debt below the national benchmark matters significantly.

The challenge here is uncertainty. With only three schools offering this associate's degree in Tennessee and no reported outcomes data available for any of them, these estimates are drawn from national peer programs rather than actual results from Remington or even similar Tennessee schools. Computer engineering technology careers can vary widely depending on whether graduates move into hands-on technical roles, IT support, or more specialized engineering assistance positions—and local labor market conditions in Memphis will heavily influence outcomes.

For families considering this program, the estimated numbers point to manageable debt relative to potential earnings, but you're making this decision with limited visibility into how Remington's specific program performs. Look closely at the school's job placement support, industry connections in the Memphis area, and whether their curriculum aligns with local employer needs. The financial math could work, but you'll need to validate those employment outcomes independently before committing.
