Business Operations Support and Assistant Services at Florida Career College-Boynton Beach

Florida Career College-Boynton Beach's Business Operations certificate program sits right at the Florida median for earnings but lags significantly behind national benchmarks. Graduates earn $20,774 in their first year—about $4,300 less than the national median of $25,094 for this field. This places the program in just the 25th percentile nationally, though it performs better within Florida, ranking in the 60th percentile among the state's 58 similar programs.

The debt picture offers some relief. At $9,500, student borrowing aligns with both state and national medians, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.46. This means graduates owe roughly 5.5 months of their starting salary, which is reasonable for a short-term certificate program. With 68% of students receiving Pell grants, the program clearly serves students who need affordable career training.

The fundamental challenge is that even Florida's stronger programs in this field—like Rasmussen University at $32,345—show significantly higher earnings potential. For families prioritizing quick workforce entry with minimal debt, this program delivers on affordability. However, if maximizing earning potential is the goal, exploring other Florida options or considering whether additional training might be worthwhile could pay dividends in the long run.
