Health and Medical Administrative Services at Florida Career College-West Palm Beach

Florida Career College's health administration certificate program sits squarely in the middle of the pack, with graduates earning $26,944 in their first year—slightly below both national and Florida medians for similar programs. Among Florida's 92 schools offering this credential, this program ranks in the 40th percentile, meaning most students could find better-earning alternatives at institutions like Seminole State College or St. Petersburg College, where graduates earn over $35,000 annually.

The program's saving grace is its manageable debt load of $9,500, which matches the state median and creates a reasonable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.35. With earnings growing modestly to $28,737 by year four, graduates can expect steady but unspectacular financial progress. The high percentage of Pell grant recipients (68%) suggests this program serves students with significant financial need, making the lower debt burden particularly valuable.

For families weighing options, this program offers a safe but unremarkable pathway into healthcare administration. While you won't saddle your child with crushing debt, the earning potential lags behind what's available at Florida's community colleges and other institutions. If your child needs the flexibility of a for-profit college schedule or has been rejected elsewhere, this program provides adequate preparation for entry-level healthcare admin roles—just don't expect it to be a standout financial investment.
