About This School
South University-Austin is a private for-profit institution located in Round Rock, Texas with approximately 211 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $25,680 per year. The graduation rate is 0%, and the typical graduate earns $40,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is very difficult to recommend to any student or family right now, and the data makes that hard to ignore. The graduation rate is 0% and the freshman retention rate sits at just 38%, which means the overwhelming majority of students who enroll are leaving without a degree — that's a serious red flag regardless of your major or goals. The financial picture compounds the concern: students take on a median debt of $26,123, yet median earnings a decade after enrollment are only $40,200, leaving little margin for repayment, especially without the credential to show for it. At $25,680 per year in net costs, you're paying near the price of a solid regional university but without the outcomes to justify it. My honest advice is to look instead at community colleges or Texas public universities in the Austin area — you'll find better graduation support, lower costs, and far stronger long-term return on your investment.
