Georgia Military College (GMC) is a public military junior college in Milledgeville, Georgia. It is divided into the junior college, a military junior college program, high school, middle school, and elementary school. It was originally known as Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, until 1900. While GMC is a state-chartered and funded institution, its governance is not overseen by either the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the low median debt of $5,500 at graduation and affordable net price of ~$14,700/year make this one of the least financially risky options you'll find, which matters. However, the 33% graduation rate and 40% freshman retention rate are serious red flags — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $35,900 a decade out suggest limited earning upside even for those who do complete a degree. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan to stay enrolled and are drawn to the military structure or need a genuinely low-cost stepping stone to a four-year transfer.
