Health and Medical Administrative Services at City College-Hollywood

The numbers here tell a troubling story, though the extremely small graduating class means you should verify these patterns before making final decisions. City College-Hollywood graduates earn roughly $32,000-$35,000 after completing this program—that's $10,000 below Florida's median for health administration programs and $12,000 below the national average. More concerning, earnings actually decline by 8% between year one and year four, suggesting limited career progression.

The debt burden makes this particularly risky. At over $53,000, graduates owe nearly $11,000 more than the Florida median and almost double the national typical debt for this degree. With first-year earnings around $35,000, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.52—meaning they owe 1.5 times their annual salary. For context, other Florida schools like Barry University and Rasmussen produce graduates earning $46,000-$62,000 with comparable or lower debt loads. The school serves 100% Pell-eligible students with open admission, but the value proposition doesn't align with those circumstances.

While the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these figures could be outliers, that's cold comfort when you're betting tens of thousands of dollars. At minimum, insist on speaking with recent alumni about their actual job outcomes and repayment experiences. If these numbers hold, your child would be better served at nearly any other Florida health administration program.
