Berry College is a private university in the Mount Berry community adjacent to Rome, Georgia, United States. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Berry College was founded on values based on Christian principles in 1902 by Martha Berry.
This small Christian-founded college in rural Georgia offers a genuinely affordable path, with median debt at graduation of just $18,900 — well below the national average. The 74% graduation rate and 83% freshman retention suggest most students find their footing here, though median earnings of $43,900 a decade out are modest and worth weighing against your career goals. Worth considering if you want a tight-knit campus community and manageable costs, but less so if you're expecting a high-earning career payoff.
