Analysis

Concorde Career Institute-Jacksonville graduates earn about $5,000 less than the typical Florida allied health program—landing in just the 40th percentile statewide. More concerning, earnings actually decline over the first four years, dropping from $41,914 to $40,294. Compare this to nearby Florida schools like Florida Gateway College, where graduates earn $54,000, or Polk State College at nearly $61,000. The debt load of $15,336 isn't excessive, but you're paying above the Florida median ($10,718) for below-median outcomes.

The 96% admission rate and heavy Pell Grant population (71%) suggest this is a program serving students who need accessible options. However, accessibility shouldn't mean settling for significantly lower earnings potential, especially in a field where other Florida programs consistently deliver $50,000+ starting salaries. The declining earnings trajectory suggests graduates may be entering lower-tier positions within allied health that offer limited advancement.

For a Jacksonville-area student interested in allied health, community colleges like Florida Gateway or Seminole State deliver substantially better returns on similar credentials. If geographic flexibility exists, those programs offer $12,000-19,000 more in annual earnings for comparable or lower debt. Unless location constraints make this the only viable option, the numbers suggest looking elsewhere in Florida's competitive allied health training landscape.
