Outcomes Overview
Fortis Institute graduates enter a job market where 94.1% find employment, but financial outcomes tell a more complex story. The typical graduate earns $32,886 ten years after graduation while carrying $12,346 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $131 consume about 4.8% of gross income, which falls within manageable ranges. Most graduates work in healthcare support roles like medical assistants and dental hygienists, fields experiencing steady demand in Florida's aging population. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38 is reasonable for career-focused training. However, five-year earnings of $37,327 show limited income growth potential. For students seeking quick entry into stable healthcare jobs, this represents an average return on investment.
