About This School

United States University is a private for-profit institution located in San Diego, California with approximately 153 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $6,780 per year. Typical graduates earn $80,980 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is best suited for working adults or career-changers in the San Diego area who need flexibility and already have a clear professional goal in mind — it's not a traditional campus experience by any stretch. With only 153 undergraduate students, you're looking at an unusually small, intimate environment, which can be a genuine advantage if you thrive with personalized attention. The financial picture is actually one of the more encouraging things here: median debt at graduation of just $15,244 is well below the national average, and median earnings of $80,980 ten years out suggest graduates are landing solidly on their feet. That said, as a for-profit institution with very limited enrollment data available, I'd encourage you to ask hard questions about graduation rates, job placement support, and program accreditation before committing — transparency from the school itself will tell you a lot. If you do pursue this option, go in with a specific program in mind, talk directly to current students or alumni, and make sure the credential you'd earn is recognized by employers in your target field.
