Augusta University (AU) is a public research university and academic medical center in Augusta, Georgia, United States. It is part of the University System of Georgia and has satellite medical campuses in Savannah, Albany, Rome, and Athens, Georgia.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a $13,347 average annual cost and $13,015 median debt at graduation are genuinely low, and graduates earning $70,600 after 10 years suggests the degree pays off — especially for students pursuing health sciences in a medical-focused university system. The concern worth flagging is the 49% graduation rate, meaning roughly half of students who start here don't finish, which paired with a 73% freshman retention rate suggests this school works best for students who have a clear academic plan and strong self-motivation from day one.
