Greenville University is a private university in Greenville, Illinois, United States. It is affiliated with the Free Methodist Church. Established as Greenville College in 1892, the institution was renamed Greenville University in 2017.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 51% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, and that's a real concern worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,000, and the Faith-centered, small-campus environment (under 900 students) may genuinely suit students looking for tight-knit community over academic prestige. That said, median earnings of $39,900 a decade out are modest, so if return on investment is a priority, this school demands a hard look at your specific program and career goals.
