The University of Tampa is a private university in Tampa, Florida, United States. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. UTampa offers more than 200 programs of study, including 19 master's degrees and a broad variety of majors, minors, pre-professional programs and certificates.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 62% graduation rate and 80% freshman retention suggest a meaningful chunk of students either leave or struggle to finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. That said, the $18,750 median debt at graduation is reassuringly low, and median earnings of $55,100 a decade out are reasonable, especially given Tampa's growing job market and the school's broad range of programs. Worth considering if you're drawn to an urban campus experience with manageable debt, but make sure the major you want has a strong track record and ask specifically what support is in place to help students graduate on time.
