About This School

John A Gupton College is a private nonprofit institution located in Nashville, Tennessee with approximately 160 undergraduate students enrolled. John A Gupton College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 84%. The average net price after financial aid is $19,772 per year.

This tiny Nashville school is one of the most financially responsible options you'll find — graduates carry just $5,999 in median debt, which is remarkably low compared to most colleges. It's worth considering if you're set on a funeral service career, since that's essentially the sole focus here, and the 84% acceptance rate makes admission accessible. The one honest caution: median earnings of $39,400 a decade out are modest, so go in with clear eyes about the income ceiling in this field.
