Agriculture at Warner University

Warner University's agriculture program punches above its weight in a state where ag graduates typically struggle. While Florida's median agriculture graduate earns $35,416, Warner's alumni start at $44,154—nearly 25% higher and ranking in the 60th percentile statewide. Nationally, this places Warner in the 73rd percentile, outperforming three-quarters of agriculture programs despite serving a predominantly working-class student body (53% receive Pell grants).

The debt picture looks reasonable at first glance: $22,250 puts graduates just slightly above the national median for ag programs, and the 0.50 debt-to-earnings ratio means a manageable repayment burden. However, there's an important caveat here—the sample size is quite small (under 30 graduates), which means these numbers could swing considerably from year to year. What looks like strong performance now might not be representative of typical outcomes.

For parents considering this program, the key question is whether you're comfortable with the uncertainty that comes with a small program. The current data suggests solid value, particularly compared to Florida A&M (the only other in-state option reporting data), but you're essentially betting on limited information. If your child is drawn to agriculture and prefers a smaller institution where they won't be lost in the crowd, Warner's current outcomes justify the investment—just recognize you're working with an incomplete picture.
