University of Fort Lauderdale Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $38,062 ten years after leaving, which creates a challenging debt-to-earnings scenario. With the average net price at $15,245, students typically face monthly loan payments around $175, consuming roughly 5.5% of their gross monthly income. This debt burden sits above the recommended 10% threshold when considering take-home pay. The university's career-focused programs in business and health sciences do prepare students for stable employment in South Florida's growing service economy. However, 36.82% of students take federal loans, and the relatively low earnings compared to educational costs present financial strain. The 75% graduation rate shows academic success, but the return on investment remains weak given the earnings-to-debt ratio.
