I know someone who graduated from South in Richmond last year. She had no complaints about the program. She passed boards the first time taking it. Every schowol has its issues. You get out what you put in. I wish you the best on your journey.

I just graduated in March of this year. MSN AGPCNP. At this time I would not recommend this school. Currently they are on probation due to financial issues and are at risk of loosing accreditation by December of this year. Currently, they are trying to sell to a non-profit organization but nothing is final as of yet. (You can easily find more details with a Google search). The school overall isn't terrible. It was convenient due to my family/work life and the cost was reasonable. However, it is almost fully self-taught. The professors were not very helpful and the assignments were sub par. Finding your own clinical sights within their criteria was an absolute nightmare!! I'm glad I stuck it out and completed the program, but I would not recommend South University.
