Academics

Studying online: a large share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 341 of South University-Tampa's 720 students (47%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 79 (11%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions

About South University-Tampa

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is South University-Tampa located?
South University-Tampa is located in Tampa, FL, in the United States.
What type of institution is South University-Tampa?
South University-Tampa is a private university based in FL. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
What is the acceptance rate at South University-Tampa?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at South University-Tampa is approximately 100%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at South University-Tampa?
South University-Tampa's published in-state tuition is approximately $18,145 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend South University-Tampa?
South University-Tampa reports total enrollment of approximately 388 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does South University-Tampa actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at South University-Tampa is approximately $20,434 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at South University-Tampa?
South University-Tampa reports a graduation rate of approximately 23%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of South University-Tampa have?
Students who borrowed at South University-Tampa left with a median of approximately $26,123 in federal loans, and about 60% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of South University-Tampa earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $34,421 for students who received federal financial aid at South University-Tampa. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about South University-Tampa?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with South University-Tampa.
