Greensboro College is a private college in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and was founded in 1838 by Rev. Peter Doub.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $19,314/year net price and only $17,986 in median debt at graduation, the cost is genuinely manageable, but a 41% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest that a significant number of students who start here don't finish. If you're considering this school, it's worth asking hard questions about academic support and what's driving that attrition, especially since median earnings of $41,000 a decade out are modest — leaving little room for error if your plans change.
