Educational Administration and Supervision at Rasmussen University-Florida

Rasmussen's Educational Administration bachelor's program costs more than most competing programs nationwide—graduating students carry debt above the 75th percentile nationally—yet delivers earnings that match the national median exactly at $37,480. With only two schools offering this bachelor's degree in Florida, your options are limited, but that doesn't make this program's economics more favorable.

The real concern isn't the starting salary—it's what happens next. Earnings actually decline 3% by year four, dropping to $36,299, which means graduates are treading water financially rather than building momentum. With a debt load of $35,697, you're looking at nearly a full year's salary in loans for a degree where income doesn't grow. That 55% Pell grant percentage tells you many families here are stretching financially to afford this credential.

For a parent weighing this investment, the math is straightforward: higher-than-average debt for average outcomes, with earnings that move backward instead of forward. If your child is set on educational administration, understand they'll likely need a master's degree anyway to advance into actual administrative roles—making this bachelor's an expensive stepping stone rather than a career launcher. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.95 isn't catastrophic, but combined with declining income, it suggests this program extracts maximum tuition for minimal credential value.
