Multi-/Interdisciplinary Studies at Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale

Keiser's interdisciplinary studies program costs significantly more than alternatives—graduates carry $41,000 in debt compared to Florida's $24,000 median—but the earnings justify much of that premium. First-year graduates earn $41,000, placing them in the 78th percentile nationally and 60th percentile statewide, outpacing both the national median ($35,282) and Florida median ($35,476) by over $5,000 annually.

The debt load warrants attention, ranking in the 5th percentile nationally (meaning 95% of similar programs carry less debt). However, the 1.00 debt-to-earnings ratio sits right at the manageable threshold, and earnings grow steadily to $44,494 by year four—a 9% increase that helps graduates gain ground on their loans. The robust sample size adds confidence these outcomes are reliable, not flukes. With 58% of students receiving Pell grants, Keiser clearly serves working-class families who need programs that deliver tangible returns.

For families comparing options in Florida, understand you're paying more upfront but getting measurably better placement outcomes than most state alternatives. This isn't the bargain option—UCF and FIU cost less—but if your child thrives in smaller, more accessible environments (97% admission rate), the earnings edge could recoup the extra debt within a few years of graduation.
