Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 76%. The average net price after financial aid is $6,842 per year.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) is a public college in Tifton, Georgia, United States. It is part of the University System of Georgia and offers baccalaureate and associate degrees. The college is named after Abraham Baldwin, a signer of the United States Constitution from Georgia and the first president of the University of Georgia.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,061 per year after aid and only $8,750 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 29% graduation rate is a serious red flag — nearly 3 in 4 students don't finish — and median earnings of $36,300 a decade out suggest limited career acceleration for those who do. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan to stay on track, but go in with your eyes open about the completion challenges.
