Health and Medical Administrative Services at Remington College-North Houston Campus
Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma
Analysis
This program delivers concerning value despite serving a predominantly low-income student population. Starting salaries of $21,686 rank in just the 5th percentile nationally and 25th percentile within Texas—meaning 95% of similar programs nationwide and 75% in Texas produce better earnings outcomes. Even after four years, graduates earn $28,202, which falls short of both the national median ($27,783) and Texas median ($25,639) for first-year earnings at other schools.
The debt burden of $10,560 creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49, and the 30% earnings growth over four years shows some promise. However, when Texas community colleges like Dallas College and San Jacinto produce starting salaries above $33,000 for the same credential, this program's value proposition becomes questionable. The gap is substantial—top Texas programs pay $13,000+ more in starting salaries while often charging less in total program costs.
For families considering this investment, the numbers suggest looking elsewhere. With 97 programs offering this credential in Texas alone, including several community colleges with significantly better outcomes, this program appears overpriced for the career prospects it delivers. The 93% Pell Grant rate indicates the school serves students who can least afford poor ROI outcomes.
