About This School
South University-West Palm Beach is a private for-profit institution located in Royal Palm Beach, Florida with approximately 284 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $18,238 per year. The graduation rate is 21%, and the typical graduate earns $40,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers here raise serious concerns — only 21% of students graduate, and fewer than half of freshmen return for sophomore year, suggesting many students struggle to finish what they started. For those who do complete a degree, median earnings of $40,200 a decade out are modest relative to the $26,123 in typical debt carried at graduation. Worth considering only if you have a very specific program need that can't be met elsewhere, and even then, explore community college or state school alternatives first.
