Outcomes Overview
Florida National graduates face a challenging financial reality after college. The median debt of $27,554 creates monthly payments of $292, consuming about 10% of typical graduate earnings. With median 10-year earnings at $33,928, the debt-to-income ratio sits at 81%, well above the recommended 40% threshold. Only 31% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The university's career-focused programs in business, healthcare, and technology do lead to a strong 91% employment rate. However, graduates earn less than the national average for college graduates. Many find work in Miami's service economy and healthcare sectors, where bilingual skills prove valuable. This represents a weak return on investment despite solid job placement rates.
