Emmanuel University is a private Christian college in Franklin Springs, Georgia, United States. It is affiliated with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church and enrolls more than 800 students. The college offers both associate and bachelor's degrees.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $19,297 average net price and low $12,000 median debt are genuinely appealing, but a 35% graduation rate and 57% freshman retention rate suggest that most students who start here don't finish — a serious red flag worth understanding before enrolling. Worth considering if you're a committed student drawn to a small, faith-centered Pentecostal community and you have a clear plan for staying on track academically and financially. Just know that median earnings of $35,400 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about your intended career path and whether the degree will support your long-term goals.
