About This School

University of Fort Lauderdale is a private nonprofit institution located in Lauderhill, Florida with approximately 314 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,965 per year. The graduation rate is 100%.

The University of Fort Lauderdale (UFTL) is a private non-denominational Christian university in Lauderhill, Florida. Founded in 1995, the school offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees and has a mission statement of being a "premier Christian institution of higher learning empowering future leaders through higher educational degrees rooted in Biblical principles". UFTL co-founder Henry B. Fernandez leads the school as chancellor and CEO.

This small, faith-based school in Lauderhill stands out for remarkably low debt at graduation — just $5,500 median, which is well below the national average — and a solid 75% graduation rate for its tight-knit community of 259 undergrads. At $15,245/year net price, the cost is reasonable, though prospective students should research job placement outcomes carefully, since the school's limited size and niche religious focus may mean fewer career resources and employer connections than larger institutions. Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, spiritually grounded education with minimal debt risk, but do your homework on what graduates actually do after leaving.
