Freed–Hardeman University is a private university associated with the Churches of Christ and located in Henderson, Tennessee, United States. It is primarily undergraduate and residential. The university also serves some commuting, part-time and adult students on-campus and through distance-learning programs.
Worth considering if you're a committed member of the Churches of Christ community seeking a small, affordable residential experience — at $20,082/year average net price and only $16,750 in median debt, the financial picture is genuinely reasonable. That said, a 68% graduation rate suggests a meaningful number of students don't finish, which is worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $41,100 a decade out are modest, so go in with clear career goals and a plan to make the most of the tight-knit campus network.
