About This School
Helms College is a private nonprofit institution located in Augusta, Georgia with approximately 183 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $25,358 per year.
Worth considering if you're drawn to small, hands-on programs — with only 150 students, you'll get personal attention that larger schools rarely offer. The financial picture is genuinely encouraging: a median graduation debt of just $8,208 is well below the national average, suggesting students aren't borrowing recklessly to finish. The main concern is the school's very small size, which limits course variety, campus life, and alumni networking compared to larger institutions, so visit and confirm the program you want is a strong fit before committing.
