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

Reported IPEDS 2024-25 graduation measures for South University-Savannah are low: the overall rate is 9%, while reported four-year and six-year measures are 8% and 17%, respectively. These figures are reasons to examine completion prospects carefully, not predictions of any individual student's outcome.

Federal graduation rates generally follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students over specified periods. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student. The four-year and six-year figures may also refer to different cohorts or reporting definitions, so they should not be read as a simple year-by-year progression for the same students.

The reported retention rate is 22%, another measure worth discussing with the intended program. Applicants can ask for program-level completion figures, typical time to degree, and explanations of course scheduling - particularly where clinical placements or required courses determine progress.

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

College Scorecard figures for selected South University fields of study describe reported earnings about one year after completion; they are not starting-salary offers or guarantees. The figures supplied for October 2026 include $65,499 for registered nursing and related nursing studies and $39,831 for information science and studies.

Other reported one-year figures include $37,748 for business administration and related management studies and $26,893 for general psychology. These are field-of-study measures for the graduates represented in federal data, not necessarily outcomes for Savannah students alone or for every credential within a broad field.

Earnings can vary with credential level, location, prior work experience, hours worked, and entry into further study. Compare a program's earnings measure with its borrowing, completion record, and any licensing requirements rather than treating one number as a forecast of personal income.
