Florida colleges that awarded Business Administration credentials

91 colleges in Florida reported conferring Business Administration credentials to the federal IPEDS collection in 2023-24, and every one of them also awarded in the year before. 90 awarded a degree, and 1 awarded only a certificate. That is a record of credentials already awarded, not confirmation that a program is currently admitting.

Colleges and what they awarded

Largest first by credentials conferred in 2023-24. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.

Looking for Business Administration programs in Florida? This page lists every college that reported awarding Business Administration credentials to the federal government in 2023-24 — 91 of them — with the credential level each one awarded. That is a record of credentials conferred, not a confirmation that a college is currently admitting students, so confirm current availability with the college before it changes where you apply.

Florida colleges conferred 18,285 Business Administration credentials in 2023-24, which is 5.5% of the 331,781 conferred across the 51 U.S. jurisdictions reporting any. Of the 91 colleges here, 90 awarded a degree and 1 awarded only a certificate. These counts measure the size of graduating classes, not program quality, and not how many students are currently enrolled.

What level those credentials were

  • Certificates38%6,998
  • Associate6%1,052
  • Bachelor's29%5,271
  • Graduate27%4,964

Most Business Administration credentials awarded in Florida were certificates. That is 12 percentage points less weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 41% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.

We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?

How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 16% of Florida’s Business Administration credentials. Activity is spread across several institutions rather than sitting with one.

What these Florida colleges cost

Median net price across the 66 of these 91 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Business Administration program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

By the kind of college

The figure above averages very different institutions together. Split by federal sector, for a family earning under $30,000:

Median net price for a family earning under $30,000, by kind of college, among Florida colleges that reported awarding Business Administrationcredentials.
Kind of collegeCollegesMedian net price
Public four-year33$4,905
Private33$23,266

Sector is the federal classification (IPEDS ICLEVEL and CONTROL). Private covers both nonprofit and for-profit colleges, which CampusPin does not split here because the for-profit sample in a single state is usually too small to publish a median. Each row needs at least five colleges reporting net price, so a sector with fewer is left out rather than estimated.

A family earning under $30,000 paid a median of $13,466 at these colleges, against $21,168 for a family earning over $110,000. Individual colleges vary widely around these medians. See every Florida college by income band.

What this evidence does and does not prove

This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.

How this list was built

From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.

This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in Florida — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?
