Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians at Florida Career College-Orlando

Florida Career College-Orlando's computer engineering technology program stands out as an exceptionally affordable path into tech, with graduates carrying just $10,813 in debt—among the lowest 5% nationally for similar programs. This manageable debt load creates a strong financial foundation, with the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.46 meaning graduates can realistically pay off their education quickly.

The earnings picture shows solid momentum, with graduates starting at $23,458 and reaching $26,890 after four years—a 15% increase that demonstrates career progression potential. While these starting salaries rank at the 60th percentile among Florida's computer engineering technology programs, they match the national median exactly, placing graduates at the 75th percentile nationally. For a certificate program serving primarily lower-income students (69% receive Pell grants), these outcomes represent genuine economic mobility.

The combination of very low debt and competitive earnings creates an attractive value equation. Graduates can enter the workforce with minimal financial burden while positioning themselves in Florida's growing tech sector. For families seeking an affordable entry point into computer technology careers, this program delivers strong returns on a modest investment.
