Full Review |
South University has over 100 years of history and five offline campuses in addition to their online programs.
South University offers a very career focused cirriculum. Over 60% of the classes that students will take in their degree program will be specifically focused on skills and knowledge that can be directly to the chosen post graduate career. Additionally, most classes are under 15 students which allows for significant student teacher and student to student interaction than other. South University also offers extremely flexible course structure with options to complete a Bachelor's degree in under three years or to take the process more slowly as a part time student if it is more realistic for the student's schedule. The accelerated degree program consists of 5.5 week classes that are shorter but more intensive and don't sacrifice any of the benefits or quality of standard class schedules. South University also offers an online and campus learning program that allows students to take advantage of the ease of online degree programs while still having access to traditional classroom learning options. At just 60%, the alumni recommendation rate was lower than many of the schools we reviewed. However, South University has a long established academic history and positive reputation as both an offline and, more recently, online educational institution Overall, South University is an excellent option for potential students that have the need or desire to earn a bachelors degree very quickly as possible without giving up academic quality. It is also recommended for those students that find a smaller class size to be an important requirement in selecting a college or university. Transfer Credit Policy: Transfer of credit will be given if the courses were taken at an accredited collegiate institution, the course was equivalent to courses offered at South University or compatible with South University's distribution requirements, and the course carries a grade of C or better. Acceptance of credits earned at other institutions and/or through examination is limited to 60% of the total hours required for an undergraduate degree. No more than half the major area course requirements can be earned through transfer and/or exemption credit. Degrees: Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's Programs: Business, Criminal Justice, Healthcare, IT, Legal Studies, Nursing and Health Accreditation: The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools |
