Florida Career College-Orlando
For-profit College in Orlando, FL.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 53% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Students pay $35,166 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($35,084 versus $37,313), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 97% of students receive it, averaging $4,928. Most students borrow — 65% take federal loans to cover the gap.
Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $35,084 |
| $30–48k | $35,628 |
| $48–75k | $36,148 |
| $75–110k | $37,313 |
| $110k+ | — |
