Analysis

Seminole State College delivers exceptional value in allied health education, with graduates earning $46,328 just one year out—nearly 50% more than the typical Florida program in this field and 31% above the national median. Among Florida's 20 schools offering this degree, Seminole State ranks in the 80th percentile for earnings, outpacing even several state universities and trailing only Keiser and a handful of larger public institutions. That performance puts graduates ahead of most competitors while keeping debt at just $23,319, essentially matching the state median.

The 0.50 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates owe roughly six months of their first-year salary—a manageable burden that positions them to pay down loans relatively quickly. While the debt sits in the 74th percentile nationally (meaning higher than ideal), the strong earnings more than compensate. For a community college-based bachelor's program, these outcomes are particularly impressive, delivering top-tier results without the price tag of a traditional four-year university.

For Florida families looking at allied health programs, this represents a smart financial pathway. Your student would start their career earning more than peers from larger state schools while taking on similar or less debt, giving them a meaningful head start on both their career and their financial independence.
