Outcomes Overview
Broward College graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads, carrying a median debt of just $7,500 compared to national averages exceeding $30,000. Monthly loan payments of $80 represent about 2.3% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong ties to South Florida's healthcare, hospitality, and aviation industries help explain the impressive 94.4% employment rate. However, median earnings of $41,939 ten years post-graduation lag behind four-year university outcomes. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.18 is excellent, but earning potential remains limited. For students seeking affordable workforce preparation in growing regional sectors, this represents a strong return on investment.
