Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Concorde Career Institute-Orlando

Concorde Career Institute-Orlando graduates earn roughly $2,400 less than the typical allied health diagnostics graduate in Florida, placing this program in the 40th percentile statewide. With first-year earnings of $49,930 and manageable debt of $24,350 (a 0.49 ratio), graduates can realistically pay down their loans—but they're starting from behind. Florida's community colleges consistently produce better outcomes: Seminole State and Broward College graduates earn over $65,000, nearly $16,000 more annually for similar credentials in the same job market.

The debt picture offers some relief. At $24,350, graduates carry about $3,000 more than the state median but substantially less than many for-profit programs charge. With 67% of students receiving Pell grants, the school serves a high-need population, and the relatively contained borrowing means most graduates won't face crushing payment burdens. Earnings do grow 8% by year four, reaching $53,958, though this still lags behind what community college graduates earn right out of the gate.

For Florida families, the math is straightforward: public alternatives deliver significantly stronger returns. If those programs are accessible, they're the smarter investment. Concorde's outcome isn't catastrophic—graduates do find work in their field—but paying private-school prices for below-median results makes sense only if community college admission or scheduling genuinely isn't workable.
