Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology

Cambridge College graduates this program with earnings of $30,218—solidly above Florida's median of $26,264 for medical assisting programs and ranking in the 60th percentile statewide. That's meaningful context in a state with 99 competing programs, though it's worth noting the top Florida schools (primarily technical colleges) place graduates earning $33,000-$36,000. The relatively low debt of $9,500 creates a manageable 0.31 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning graduates owe about four months' salary.

The bigger caution here is sample size: fewer than 30 graduates provided this data, making the numbers less reliable than programs with hundreds of alumni reporting. With 63% of students receiving Pell grants, Cambridge serves a population that genuinely needs these programs to deliver economically. The earnings trajectory matters significantly for medical assistants, whose roles can plateau quickly without additional credentials.

For families considering this program, the debt level is reasonable and the first-year earnings clear the Florida median comfortably. However, the gap between Cambridge and top-performing technical colleges in the state suggests shopping around could yield $3,000-$6,000 more in annual earnings—a substantial difference at this income level. If Cambridge offers location advantages or scheduling flexibility that technical colleges don't, the premium makes sense. Otherwise, those technical colleges deliver stronger returns on similar investments.
