South University-Richmond

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

South University-Richmond's reported overall graduation rate was 42% in the 2024-25 IPEDS figures. Its reported four-year and six-year rates were 22% and 33%, respectively. These measures can describe different cohorts or reporting definitions, so they should not be read as successive checkpoints for every student who enrolls today.

The reported student retention rate was 67%. Retention tracks continued enrollment over a defined period; it is not a graduation rate. Federal graduation measures also focus on specified entering groups and may not describe the experience of all transfer, part-time, or returning adult students.

For a more relevant comparison, applicants can ask their intended program for completion outcomes, the time allowed in those calculations, and any available licensure-exam results. Campus-wide figures alone cannot explain why individual students leave or how a particular program performs.

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

Reported earnings vary substantially by field. College Scorecard figures supplied for one year after completion include $65,499 for registered nursing and $39,831 for information science and studies. The corresponding figures are $37,748 for business administration and $26,893 for general psychology.

These are reported outcomes for the measured program populations, not salary offers or predictions for a Richmond student. Program-level Scorecard results may combine students from more than one South University location or delivery format; they should not automatically be treated as Richmond-only results. Earnings measures also do not capture everyone who completed a program, and they do not account for an individual's location, work hours, prior experience, further education, or borrowing.

When comparing programs, students should pair earnings figures with the credential required for the jobs they want, licensing requirements, likely time to completion, and their own expected debt.
