Overview

Only 16% of students graduate from South University-Savannah. This low graduation rate raises important questions for prospective students considering their future. With an enrollment of just 270, this small private for-profit institution may present a unique environment, but the numbers indicate that completing a degree is a significant challenge.

Earnings data shows that graduates earn an average of $34,421 within ten years of leaving the school. However, the heavy financial burden of a net price of $28,743 and a median debt of $26,123 can weigh heavily on students. The 62% Pell Grant rate suggests that many students come from low-income backgrounds, which adds urgency to the need for effective support systems that promote completion and long-term success.

Students who thrive at South University-Savannah often pursue programs in Health Professions, Business & Marketing, Psychology, Computer Science & IT, and Criminal Justice. These fields may offer pathways to stable careers, but students should weigh the financial implications against potential earnings. Understanding the cost of attendance and the realistic outcomes post-graduation is crucial for making an informed decision about enrollment.
