Health and Medical Administrative Services at Remington College-Memphis Campus

This Health and Medical Administrative Services certificate program at Remington College-Memphis delivers concerning results that should give parents pause. With first-year earnings of just $21,686—ranking in the bottom 5th percentile nationally—graduates earn significantly less than the national median of $27,783 for this field. Even within Tennessee, where this program ranks at the 40th percentile, graduates earn about $2,500 less than the state median and fall well short of what students achieve at other Tennessee schools like Ross Medical Education Centers ($28,000-$31,000) or Tennessee College of Applied Technology locations ($24,000-$25,000).

While the debt load of $10,560 is reasonable and the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49 isn't alarming, the fundamental issue is the low earning potential. The 30% earnings growth to $28,202 by year four is positive, but graduates are still playing catch-up to where their peers start at better programs. Given that 91% of students receive Pell grants, this suggests the program serves a financially vulnerable population who particularly need strong employment outcomes.

For families considering this investment, the data suggests looking elsewhere. Tennessee has multiple programs in this field that deliver substantially better earnings outcomes for similar debt levels. The robust sample size makes these results reliable, not a statistical fluke.
