Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at The College of Health Care Professions-Dallas

The College of Health Care Professions-Dallas produces graduates who earn significantly more than most allied health programs in Texas, with first-year earnings of $30,137 compared to the state median of just $24,563. Among Texas programs, this ranks in the 60th percentile—a solid middle-tier performance that beats nearly two-thirds of comparable programs statewide. Nationally, graduates perform even better, landing in the 70th percentile for earnings.

The debt picture is reasonable but not exceptional. At $9,104, student debt sits slightly below both national and state medians for this field, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30. However, the debt ranks in the 78th percentile nationally, meaning most similar programs saddle students with less debt. The modest 2% earnings growth over four years suggests graduates quickly reach their earning ceiling in this field.

For parents considering this program, the numbers work: graduates earn well above state norms with manageable debt loads, serving the program's predominantly Pell grant recipient population effectively. While there are higher-earning options in Texas like Houston Community College, this program delivers solid preparation for stable healthcare support roles without excessive financial burden.
