Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at AdventHealth University
Associate's Degree
Analysis
AdventHealth University graduates earn nearly $10,000 more than the typical Florida allied health professional with this associate's degree—that's a meaningful advantage in a crowded field with 52 competing programs statewide. At 60th percentile among Florida schools, it's solidly above-average though not elite. The debt load of $24,749 translates to a comfortable 0.44 ratio against first-year earnings, meaning graduates should manage repayment without serious strain.
The concerning element here is the complete earnings stagnation: graduates make essentially the same salary four years out as they do immediately after graduation. While some allied health roles offer steady, reliable income rather than career laddering, this flat trajectory stands in contrast to Florida's top performers like Seminole State and Broward College, where graduates earn $9,000-$10,000 more. That gap suggests either different specialization tracks or stronger employer connections at those community colleges.
For families weighing this program, the value proposition depends on career goals within allied health. If you're targeting a specific credential or employer relationship AdventHealth offers, the reasonable debt and solid starting salary make sense. But if flexibility matters and you're in the Tampa or South Florida regions, the state's community colleges deliver comparable or better outcomes at typically lower cost. The program works financially—it just doesn't stand out in a competitive Florida market.
