Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-North Houston Campus

This Allied Health program at Remington College-North Houston presents a concerning value proposition that warrants serious reconsideration. With first-year earnings of just $24,037, graduates earn significantly below the national average of $27,186 for similar programs, ranking in only the 22nd percentile nationally. While the program performs closer to the middle of the pack within Texas (40th percentile), this still means your child would likely earn less than most graduates from competing programs in the state.

The debt situation offers the program's only bright spot—at $14,120, it's well below typical borrowing levels for this field nationally and creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59. However, this advantage is overshadowed by the stark earnings gap compared to local alternatives. Houston Community College and Lone Star College System graduates earn $35,469 and $33,233 respectively—roughly $9,000-11,000 more annually than Remington graduates. Over a career, this difference compounds significantly.

Given that 93% of students receive Pell grants, this program clearly serves financially vulnerable populations, but the earnings outcomes don't justify the investment when superior local options exist. Your child would be better served applying to Houston Community College or Lone Star College System, where they'd likely pay similar costs but earn substantially more upon graduation.
