What are the graduation rates for students at South University-Austin?

South University-Austin's reported IPEDS 2024-25 graduation measures were 0% for the four-year and six-year measures, while its reported student retention rate was 38%. These are serious figures to examine, but they should not be read as the graduation odds of every current student.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined groups of students - typically first-time, full-time entrants - over a specified period. They do not capture every transfer student, part-time learner, or graduate student. A previous reporting year showed a six-year figure of 13%, so the measures can also change substantially between cohorts. Retention addresses a different question: whether students in the measured group returned for the following year. Applicants should ask their intended program for recent completion, withdrawal, and, where relevant, licensure-exam results for students with backgrounds similar to their own.

What is the earning potential for graduates at South University-Austin?

College Scorecard figures dated October 2026 report earnings one year after graduation for several fields associated with South University-Austin. For example, the reported figure is $65,499 for the registered-nursing field and $37,748 for business administration, management, and operations.

Other reported one-year field figures include $39,831 for information science, $33,655 for criminal justice and corrections, and $26,893 for general psychology. These are field-level reported outcomes, not a salary offer to an applicant or proof of earnings for every Austin-campus graduate. The figures alone do not establish an individual's wage, whether they worked full time, or how much debt they carried. Degree level, occupation, location, prior experience, and the students included in the reporting group all matter when comparing programs.
