Everglades University, formerly American Flyers College, is a private university with its main campus in Boca Raton, Florida, and several other campuses throughout the state. Everglades offers bachelor's and master's degree programs, both via online and on-campus.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 58% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $18,950, and the flexible online and on-campus options across Florida make it a practical choice for working adults or non-traditional students who need that kind of accessibility. Worth considering if you have a clear plan and strong self-discipline, but students who thrive with structure and hands-on campus support may want to compare other options first.
