About This School
Herzing University-Orlando is a private nonprofit institution located in Winter Park, Florida with approximately 714 undergraduate students enrolled. Herzing University-Orlando has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 94%. The average net price after financial aid is $19,850 per year. The graduation rate is 37%, and the typical graduate earns $41,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to healthcare and business programs who need flexibility and personalized attention in a smaller setting may find this school worth a look, but the numbers here deserve serious scrutiny before you commit. The graduation rate of just 37% is a real red flag — it means that fewer than 4 in 10 students who start here actually finish, and the freshman retention rate of 40% suggests many students are struggling or leaving after just one year. On the financial side, the median debt at graduation is a manageable $21,500, but graduates are earning a median of $41,600 ten years out, which is modest enough that loan repayment could feel tight depending on your field and lifestyle. The net price of roughly $19,850 per year isn't unreasonable for a private school, but given the graduation odds, you'd be paying that cost with significant uncertainty about whether you'll actually reach the finish line. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage visiting the campus, asking directly what support services exist for struggling students, and honestly considering whether a nearby community college or state school might offer better odds of completion for a similar or lower price.
