Analysis

Johnson University Florida's business program produces graduates earning $30,767 in their first year—barely two-thirds of Florida's median for business programs and ranking in just the 10th percentile statewide. Among 93 Florida schools offering business degrees, this is exceptionally low performance. The $21,750 in typical debt seems manageable at first glance, but it represents nearly nine months of first-year salary, creating a challenging financial start for graduates.

The earnings trajectory does improve significantly, jumping 25% to $38,314 by year four. However, even this growth leaves graduates well below both state and national benchmarks, where typical business majors earn around $45,000. For context, top Florida business programs like Embry-Riddle and Florida Tech produce graduates earning over $63,000—nearly double what Johnson University Florida graduates make even after four years. The school's 940 average SAT score and 46% Pell Grant rate suggest it serves students who may have fewer alternatives, but that doesn't change the fundamental earnings challenge.

Given these numbers come from a small sample, individual outcomes could vary considerably. However, the pattern is clear enough to warrant serious concern: this program consistently underperforms its peers across Florida. Families should compare this against local state colleges, which typically deliver stronger business program outcomes at lower cost.
