Analysis

This Remington College-Online program delivers below-average outcomes that should give you pause. While the debt load is relatively manageable at $14,120 (lower than most programs nationally), the earnings are concerning—graduates earn $24,037 in their first year, which falls in just the 22nd percentile nationally and 40th percentile among Texas programs. Even four years out, earnings only grow to $26,469, still trailing the national median of $27,186 for similar programs.

The comparison with other Texas schools is particularly stark. Top community college programs like Houston Community College ($35,469) and Lone Star College System ($33,233) produce graduates earning 40-50% more than Remington's online program. This suggests you could likely find better value at established local institutions that offer stronger job placement networks and employer recognition.

The positive here is the reasonable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59, meaning graduates aren't drowning in debt even with modest salaries. However, with 89% of students receiving Pell grants, this program primarily serves lower-income students who need strong career outcomes. Given that medical assisting roles are widely available and other Texas schools clearly achieve better results, you'd be wise to explore community college alternatives first. The online format may offer convenience, but it appears to come at the cost of earning potential and career advancement opportunities.
