About This School

Georgian Court University is a private nonprofit institution located in Lakewood, New Jersey with approximately 1,174 undergraduate students enrolled. Georgian Court University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 71%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,218 per year. The graduation rate is 55%, and the typical graduate earns $43,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Georgian Court University is a private Catholic university in Lakewood Township, New Jersey, United States. Founded in 1908 by the Sisters of Mercy, the university has more than 1,600 undergraduates and nearly 600 graduate students.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the net price of around $20,000/year and relatively low debt at graduation ($16,984) make this an affordable Catholic university option in New Jersey, but a 55% graduation rate is a genuine concern worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $43,600 a decade out are modest, so this fits best if you're pursuing a specific program with clear career alignment, like nursing or education, rather than treating it as a general-purpose degree. Worth considering if cost and small-campus community matter to you, but dig into your specific program's outcomes before committing.
