Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at UEI College-Fresno

This Allied Health and Medical Assisting program at UEI College-Fresno delivers concerning results that should give parents pause. With first-year earnings of just $20,254, graduates earn significantly less than both the national median ($27,186) and California median ($26,897) for this field. More troubling, this program ranks in only the 5th percentile nationally and 25th percentile among California programs—meaning 95% of similar programs nationwide produce better-earning graduates.

The debt picture offers some relief, with $9,500 in median debt creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.47. However, when top California programs like Empire College and Bay Area Medical Academy produce graduates earning $40,000+ in their first year with similar debt loads, the opportunity cost becomes clear. Even nearby community colleges like Cabrillo deliver nearly double the earnings ($37,279) that UEI-Fresno graduates achieve.

While the 19% earnings growth over four years shows some progression, graduates still lag far behind their peers elsewhere. For a family investing in career training, this program represents poor value despite the reasonable debt load. Your child would likely have better earning prospects at numerous other California institutions offering the same credential.
