Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Remington College-Shreveport Campus

With a 33% earnings jump from year one to year four, Remington College-Shreveport's Allied Health program shows promising income growth that helps offset a concerning initial salary gap. While first-year graduates earn $27,695—well below both the national median of $36,862 and Louisiana's $30,867—the program's trajectory suggests students develop marketable skills that pay off with experience.

The debt picture is manageable at $24,121, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.87 that stays within reasonable bounds. However, the state comparison reveals a significant opportunity cost: Louisiana's top community college programs like Bossier Parish and Delgado produce graduates earning $45,000-$50,000, nearly double Remington's starting salaries. Even after four years of growth, Remington graduates still trail these alternatives by substantial margins.

For families considering this program, the math suggests looking elsewhere in Louisiana first. While Remington serves a predominantly Pell-eligible population and provides a pathway into healthcare careers, the state's community colleges appear to deliver superior outcomes at similar or lower debt levels. The strong earnings growth is encouraging, but starting from such a low baseline means graduates face years of catching up to what they might have earned immediately elsewhere.
