Health and Medical Administrative Services at South University-West Palm Beach

The concerning reality here is that graduates leave with nearly 40% more debt than the Florida median for this program while earning exactly the state median salary. At $55,123 in student loans against $39,722 in first-year earnings, students face a debt burden nearly 1.4 times their annual income—nearly double what the typical Florida program in this field produces ($42,867 in debt).

The program sits at Florida's median for earnings, which sounds neutral until you see what's possible elsewhere in the state. Barry University graduates earn $61,949, while even community college options like Santa Fe deliver $42,545. The minimal 1% earnings growth over four years suggests graduates aren't gaining ground on that debt load—they're essentially treading water while making loan payments that likely exceed $600 monthly on a standard repayment plan.

For a family weighing this option, the math is straightforward: you're taking on significantly more debt than necessary for median-level outcomes in Florida's healthcare administration field. With 57% of students receiving Pell grants, many families here are stretching financially for a credential that doesn't deliver commensurate returns. Unless your child has compelling reasons to attend this specific campus, exploring the state's less expensive programs or higher-earning alternatives would better protect both their financial future and your family's investment.
