Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at UEI College-Reseda

UEI College-Reseda's Allied Health program delivers below-average earnings outcomes that should give you pause. With median first-year earnings of $24,695, graduates earn about $2,500 less than the California median and rank in just the 28th percentile nationally. While the program performs slightly better within California (40th percentile), this still means 60% of similar programs in the state produce higher-earning graduates.

The debt picture offers some relief—at $9,500, it matches both state and national medians, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38. However, the earnings growth is concerning: graduates see only a 7% increase over four years, reaching just $26,472 by year four. Compare this to top California programs where graduates earn $35,000-$40,000+ right out of the gate. The 75% Pell Grant rate indicates the program serves lower-income students, but the modest earnings may not provide the economic mobility they're seeking.

Bottom line: This program represents a low-cost entry into healthcare support roles, but the earnings potential is limited. If your child is determined to pursue medical assisting in the LA area, consider community college alternatives or higher-performing programs that might justify slightly higher costs with significantly better earning outcomes.
