Southeastern University is a private Christian university in Lakeland, Florida, United States. It was established in 1935 in New Brockton, Alabama, as Southeastern Bible Institute, relocated to Lakeland in 1946, and became a liberal arts college in 1970. It is the largest Assemblies of God educational institution in the United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 43% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, which is a serious red flag worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $12,000, and the faith-based community in Lakeland appeals strongly to students seeking a values-driven environment. That said, median earnings of $37,900 a decade out are modest, so if you're taking on any loans, go in with a clear plan for your major and career path.
