Where this leads

Real career pipelines from this school, based on alumni outcomes and recruiting patterns.

Southwest Florida real estate and construction: strong local developer networks, limited mobility to other regions.
Healthcare administration: proximity to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, lower-tier hospital systems across state.
Hospitality management: theme parks (Orlando), cruise lines (Tampa/Port Everglades), seasonal resort saturation.
Financial services: regional banking in Tampa/Miami, not a top-tier finance feeder school.
Tourism and event management: Collier County convention business, decent internship pipeline but niche ceiling.
