Georgia College and State University is a public liberal arts university in Milledgeville, Georgia, United States. The university enrolls approximately 7,000 students and is a member of the University System of Georgia and the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. Georgia College was designated Georgia's "Public Liberal Arts University" in 1996 by the Georgia Board of Regents.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $18,809/year and low median debt of $16,018 make this one of the more financially sensible public options in Georgia, but a 62% graduation rate means roughly 4 in 10 students who start here don't finish — worth asking why. This is a strong option for students who thrive in a smaller, tight-knit campus setting and have a clear plan to stay on track, but if you're still figuring things out academically, that retention risk is real. Median earnings of $45,200 after 10 years are modest but manageable given the debt load, so the return on investment holds up better than at pricier schools.
