Sullivan University is a For-Profit, private university. All the institution cares about is bringing in money by any means necessary. Nursing students at Sullivan University that actually get through the nursing program (many don't), as of 2022, ONLY 43.3% of nursing students pass the NCLEX which is required for employment in nursing. This information can be found on the Kentucky Board of Nursing: Prelicensure Program of Nursing Benchmarks. This means that 56.7% of Sullivan University nursing students take on tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt and won't be able to go into nursing. Admissions Advisors are instructed by management to heavily push student loans onto students, even if it means adding a crushing burden of debt onto the students, all for the sake of "hitting the numbers". Not to mention that their student retention rate is terrible. Students that drop out still have to pay the loans they took out, and the way Sullivan prepares their financial package, they have to pay for 3 semesters/quarters at a time. Meaning that if the student drops out after the first semester/quarter, they will still have to pay for the second and third. In the eyes of the admissions office at Sullivan, you are not a student, you are a lead. You are a means to acquire money, that is it. They prey particularly on the underprivileged "leads" and use predatory techniques to rope you into attending Sullivan.
