About This School

Herzing University-Atlanta is a private nonprofit institution located in Atlanta, Georgia with approximately 387 undergraduate students enrolled. Herzing University-Atlanta has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 94%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,679 per year. The graduation rate is 14%, and the typical graduate earns $41,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 94% acceptance rate means getting in isn't the challenge, but only 29% of students actually graduate, and just 30% of freshmen return for sophomore year, which are serious red flags worth understanding before enrolling. If you do finish, median earnings of $41,600 after 10 years are modest but the $21,500 median debt load is relatively manageable. Worth considering only if you've had a direct conversation with the school about what's driving that low retention and have a clear plan to be among the students who complete their degree.
