About This School

Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale is a private nonprofit institution located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with approximately 17,370 undergraduate students enrolled. Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 97%. The average net price after financial aid is $34,439 per year. The graduation rate is 44%, and the typical graduate earns $35,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 97% acceptance rate means getting in isn't the challenge, but a 44% graduation rate suggests many students don't make it to the finish line, which is worth taking seriously. The relatively low median debt of $13,000 at graduation is a genuine bright spot, but median earnings of $35,100 a decade out make the $34,439 annual net price feel like a tight margin. Worth considering if you have a specific career-focused program in mind and a clear plan to stay enrolled, but come in with eyes open about the completion odds.
