Dental Support Services and Allied Professions at UEI College-West Covina

This UEI College-West Covina dental support program delivers concerning earnings outcomes that should give parents pause. With first-year earnings of just $19,904—ranking in only the 10th percentile nationally and 25th percentile in California—graduates earn significantly less than the national median of $25,255 and California median of $24,628. While the debt load is manageable at $9,500, the earnings are simply too low to justify the investment when much stronger alternatives exist in California.

The stark contrast with top-performing programs in the state is telling. Graduates from Cabrillo College earn nearly four times more ($74,741), while even mid-tier options like Cerritos College ($34,175) provide substantially better returns. The 32% earnings growth from year one to four shows some promise, bringing graduates to $26,229, but this still lags behind what many programs deliver immediately upon graduation.

For an anxious parent, the numbers are clear: this program ranks among the weakest performers in both California and nationally for dental support services training. Given that 96 schools in California offer similar programs—many with dramatically better outcomes—your child would be better served exploring higher-performing alternatives that can provide the same career path with significantly stronger earning potential.
