Business Administration, Management and Operations at Albizu University-Miami

Similar business programs across Florida suggest first-year earnings around $45,000 for this degree, with modest growth to $47,480 by year four. That early trajectory—barely $2,400 in gains over three years—raises real questions about how quickly graduates can advance in their careers. While the estimated debt load of $25,475 isn't crushing by national standards, it's still higher than the typical Florida business program at $22,625.

The stagnant earnings pattern is particularly concerning given that this program serves primarily Pell grant recipients (52%) who often can't afford prolonged career ramp-up periods. Comparable programs in Florida show a wide range of outcomes, with top performers like Embry-Riddle producing graduates earning nearly $67,000—almost 50% more than what this program's peer data suggests. That gap matters when you're trying to pay down debt while covering Miami's living costs.

Here's the practical reality: if these estimates hold, your child would face a manageable but not trivial debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.57, meaning roughly seven months of gross income to cover what they borrowed. That's workable, but only if the earnings materialize as predicted and if they can weather those early years of minimal salary growth. Given the limited actual data and the flat earnings trajectory, you'd want concrete evidence that Albizu's career support and employer connections can deliver better outcomes than these peer-program estimates suggest.
