About This School
Georgetown College is a private nonprofit institution located in Georgetown, Kentucky with approximately 1,097 undergraduate students enrolled. Georgetown College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 91%. The average net price after financial aid is $14,095 per year. The graduation rate is 49%, and the typical graduate earns $50,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Georgetown College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Georgetown, Kentucky. Chartered in 1829, Georgetown was the first Baptist college west of the Appalachian Mountains.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $13,485 average net price and low $13,000 median debt are genuinely appealing for a private college, but a 48% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish — worth asking why during a campus visit. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small Christian liberal arts environment with a historic Baptist identity and want to keep costs down, but go in with a plan to stay on track, since the odds of completing are lower than you'd hope.
