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

IPEDS 2024-25 figures report an overall graduation rate of 23% for South University-Tampa. The reported four-year and six-year rates are each 18%. These measures have defined reporting cohorts and should not be interpreted as the probability that any particular applicant will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally focus on first-time, full-time students, leaving many transfer and part-time students outside the principal cohort. That limitation matters at this campus: reported entrants included 80 transfer-in degree or certificate seekers and 20 first-time entrants. The reported student-retention rate was 50%, another measure that follows a particular group rather than all students.

Applicants can make these figures more useful by asking their program for completion information covering students with similar entry status and enrollment intensity, as well as the typical time needed to finish required courses and clinical work.

Field-of-study earnings describe people included in the federal measure; they do not establish what every South University-Tampa graduate earns. Program, credential level, location of employment, prior work experience, and whether someone continues their education can all affect the usefulness of a comparison. Students should compare an earnings figure with the cost and length of the same credential, not with tuition for a different degree.
