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

While Remington College-Nashville's dental support program sits right at Tennessee's median for earnings, it significantly underperforms national expectations for this field. The first-year median of $21,721 places graduates in just the 19th percentile nationally, meaning 81% of similar programs elsewhere produce better-earning graduates. This is particularly concerning given that the national median for this program is $25,255—nearly $3,500 higher.

The program does show some strengths: debt levels are reasonable at $9,500 (matching both state and national medians), and earnings grow a solid 23% over four years to reach $26,683. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44 means graduates typically earn back their investment within about five months of work. However, even after four years of career growth, graduates still trail the national median for first-year earnings in this field.

For Tennessee families, this program represents middle-of-the-pack performance within the state, but parents should know their child could likely do better elsewhere. Top Tennessee programs like Chattanooga State ($31,590) demonstrate that significantly higher earnings are achievable in-state. Given that 72% of students here receive Pell grants, many families are seeking affordable career training—but other state options offer better returns on that investment.
