Business Operations Support and Assistant Services at UEI College-West Covina

UEI College-West Covina's business operations certificate delivers exactly median results nationally, but falls short of what other California programs achieve. While graduates earn $25,094 in their first year—matching the national average—this places them in just the 40th percentile among California programs, meaning 60% of similar programs in the state produce higher-earning graduates.

The debt picture offers some relief. At $9,500, student debt aligns with both national and state medians, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38. Graduates can reasonably expect to pay off their loans within a few years, especially as earnings grow a solid 12% to $28,125 by year four. The program serves a predominantly low-income population, with 72% of students receiving Pell grants, making the relatively modest debt burden particularly important.

However, the gap with top-performing California programs is significant—Central Coast College graduates earn $34,301, about $9,000 more annually. For families considering this investment, UEI offers a safe, predictable path into business support roles without crushing debt, but students willing to explore other options might find programs that deliver substantially better earning potential within the same state and timeframe.
