Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications at Remington College-Memphis Campus

Remington College-Memphis turns out IT networking graduates earning about $35,700 initially—roughly $7,500 below the national median for this field. However, context matters: among Tennessee's limited options for networking associate's degrees, this program sits at the 60th percentile, meaning it actually outperforms most in-state alternatives. For families choosing between Tennessee schools, that relative positioning is meaningful, even if the absolute numbers trail national figures.

The debt load of $22,700 creates a manageable 0.64 ratio to first-year earnings, which is reasonable for an associate's degree. Four years out, graduates see modest growth to $37,000—enough to improve the debt picture but not enough to catch up to stronger national programs. The school serves an overwhelmingly low-income population (91% Pell recipients), suggesting it fills an access role for students who might not have many alternatives.

The major caveat: fewer than 30 graduates in this dataset means these numbers could swing significantly year to year. For Tennessee families specifically considering networking programs, this represents a middle-tier option that won't saddle students with crushing debt. For those who can access stronger programs elsewhere—particularly the higher-earning options that dominate nationally—the earnings gap is worth examining closely.
