Integrative Studies: Finish Your Degree at Southern

Higher Earning Potential

Finishing your degree, especially if it’s been years since you’ve been enrolled, will come with challenges not only from an academic perspective, but also in terms of the time and financial investment that’s required. However, studies show that college graduates on average earn at least $1 million more over the course of their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma.

More Career Opportunities

Many people who return to school to complete their degrees do so not only to earn higher salaries, but also to qualify for many more career advancement opportunities. Whether that's going for a promotion, taking on new responsibilities, or even switching careers, the benefits of earning a degree are seemingly endless.

A Sense of Fulfillment

Many students of Southern's Adult Degree Completion Program enroll because they have a sense of "unfinished business." They started school and, for one reason or another, were not able to finish.

Earning your degree is an incredible accomplishment, especially for those who return to the classroom many years later. And once you've completed that journey, nobody can take it away from you.
