The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $28,200 ten years out, which is modest for a school costing $24,026 per year in net price — though the relatively low median debt of $9,897 at graduation does soften that concern somewhat. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific technical diploma or associate degree and want a smaller, focused environment with Florida-based campuses, but make sure the program you choose has clear local hiring demand before enrolling. Compare salary outcomes for your specific field carefully, since a for-profit school at this price point needs to prove a real return on investment.
