Outcomes Overview
Fortis College-Cutler Bay graduates earn a median of $34,726 after ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 37% based on the typical $13,000 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $138 consume about 5% of gross income for median earners. The college serves primarily healthcare and skilled trade programs, reflected in its 95.5% employment rate. However, only 20% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The mean six-year earnings of $28,500 falls well below the national average for associate degree holders. While job placement rates look strong, the combination of below-average wages and significant loan default rates suggests a weak return on investment for most students.
