About Us

Mission & Heritage

South University is a private academic institution dedicated to providing educational opportunities for the intellectual, social, and professional development of a diverse student population. We are committed to providing a balanced, comprehensive education that instills a philosophy of learning and professionalism combined with contribution and commitment to advancing the community. South University offers a wide range of programs in business, nursing, healthcare, criminal justice, accounting, and information technology.

Enjoying a long-standing tradition of excellence in education, South University has delivered quality education and personal attention to students for more than a century. The University traces its heritage to 1899 when Dr. John Draughon, committed to advancing his community, established Draughon's Practical Business College in Savannah, GA.

Since those humble beginnings, South University has grown from a two-year business college into an accredited four-year university. Today, South University continues to build on academic excellence as a recognized innovator in higher education.

Designed with the needs of working adult students in mind, South University's online programs are built on the same curriculum offered by our campus programs. As a student in one of our online programs you will receive the same degree, quality instruction, variety of learning options and level of service found at our six campus locations. We provide more than just an online classroom — we strive to bring a range of campus experiences and services online, including advising, tutoring, student community, and career services.

Our online programs provide you with the freedom to attend class any time – day or night – from anywhere you connect to the Internet. At South University, you are in control of your education.
