About This School
South University-Savannah is a private for-profit institution located in Savannah, Georgia with approximately 246 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $24,116 per year. The graduation rate is 23%, and the typical graduate earns $40,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a concerning story here — only 23% of students graduate, and half of freshmen don't return for sophomore year, which are serious red flags about student outcomes and institutional support. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $13,000, and the $40,200 median earnings at 10 years are livable, but those figures only reflect students who made it through. Worth considering only if you have a very specific program need that can't be met elsewhere and a clear plan to beat the odds.
