Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale

Technology management programs in Florida vary dramatically in outcomes, with Miami's grads earning over $73,000 while most cluster around $54,000-$60,000. Based on similar IT administration programs across Florida, Keiser's bachelor's degree likely lands near the state median—first-year earnings around $54,385 and debt at $26,766. That's slightly below the national median for this field ($58,056) but with notably lower debt than the Florida average of $31,737.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49 suggests manageable repayment if those estimates hold true. A graduate earning $54,000 would face monthly payments around $300 on a standard plan—about 6.6% of gross income, which falls within conventional affordability guidelines. The real question is whether Keiser provides a similar experience to the state programs these figures are drawn from, particularly since nearly 60% of students here receive Pell grants and may have fewer financial buffers if outcomes fall short.

For a private institution charging enough to generate $27,000 in debt, you'd ideally see earnings closer to the $59,000-$64,000 range that some Florida competitors achieve. The uncertainty here matters: if actual outcomes trail these estimates by even $5,000-$7,000 annually, the value proposition weakens considerably. Before committing, get specific placement data from Keiser itself—where graduates actually work, starting salaries in recent cohorts, and whether the school's career services can match what the debt load requires.
