Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Taylor College

Taylor College graduates earn about $7,800 more than the typical Florida allied health graduate and $6,000 above the national median—placing this program in the 60th percentile statewide and 75th nationally. That's solid performance for a field where many programs struggle to differentiate themselves. The $42,622 starting salary grows to nearly $51,000 by year four, a 19% increase that suggests meaningful career progression rather than dead-end medical assistant roles.

The debt picture strengthens the case further. At $25,250, graduates owe less than the typical borrower at Florida allied health programs (which average $25,626), and well below the national 75th percentile. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 means borrowers owe roughly seven months' salary—manageable territory that most graduates can handle with disciplined budgeting. With three-quarters of students receiving Pell grants, this accessibility matters.

The program doesn't reach the earnings levels of Hodges University or Santa Fe College, but it outperforms 60% of Florida competitors while keeping debt reasonable. For families prioritizing employability over prestige, this represents a practical path into healthcare work that pays back the investment within the first few years.
