Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at Remington College-Memphis Campus

Remington College-Memphis delivers exactly median performance within Tennessee's dental support programs, but that means significantly underperforming the national landscape. With first-year earnings of $21,721, graduates earn about $3,500 less than the national median and land in just the 19th percentile nationally—a meaningful gap in a field where higher-performing programs can deliver 30-40% better starting salaries.

The debt picture offers some relief. At $9,500, borrowing matches both state and national medians, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44. Earnings do grow 23% over four years to $26,683, which helps the long-term outlook. However, Tennessee offers notably stronger alternatives: Chattanooga State Community College graduates earn $31,590 in their first year—45% more than Remington's output—while several other state programs also significantly outperform.

For families considering this investment, the trade-off is clear: Remington provides accessible dental support training (91% of students receive Pell grants) with reasonable debt levels, but graduates will likely start their careers earning substantially less than peers from higher-performing programs. Given the competitive alternatives within Tennessee, parents should seriously evaluate whether those other programs might offer better long-term value, even if they require different admission requirements or locations.
