The College of Coastal Georgia is a public college in Brunswick, Georgia, United States. It was established in 1961 and opened in 1964, making it one of Georgia's newest state colleges. The college transitioned from a community college into a four-year college and conferred its first baccalaureate degrees on May 7, 2011.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the near-universal acceptance rate and low average net price of $12,905/year make this an accessible, affordable entry point for students in coastal Georgia, but only 26% of students graduate and just over half of freshmen return for sophomore year — warning signs that many students struggle to finish. Median earnings of $32,800 a decade out are modest, though the relatively low debt at graduation ($8,250) limits financial risk if you do complete a degree. Worth considering if you need an affordable, open-access option close to home, but come in with a clear plan and strong support system to beat the odds.
