Analysis

Florida Tech's Health and Medical Administrative Services program carries significant risk signals that deserve careful scrutiny. With just 40% of Florida programs ranking below it in earnings, graduates here earn $36,381 four years outβ€”that's $3,300 less than the state median and nearly $8,000 below the national average. More troubling: earnings actually decline 5% over the first four years rather than growing, and the program saddles students with $53,313 in debt, which stands in the 5th percentile nationally (meaning 95% of similar programs load students with less debt).

The math here is punishing. That debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.39 means graduates owe roughly 17 months of their annual salary, making loan payments a genuine financial burden. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic and Barry University graduates in similar programs earn $60,000+, proving significantly better outcomes are achievable within the state. Even community colleges like Santa Fe deliver stronger earnings with far less debt.

The small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these numbers could shift, but that's cold comfort when the pattern is this stark. Unless Florida Tech offers unique career connections or specializations in healthcare administration that justify the premium, this program looks like an expensive path to below-average results. For families borrowing heavily to fund this degree, the financial recovery timeline would be uncomfortably long.
