LaGrange College is a private college in LaGrange, Georgia. Founded in 1831 as a female educational institution, LaGrange is the oldest private college in Georgia. It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and offers more than 55 academic and pre-professional programs, including graduate degrees in education, clinical mental health counseling and higher education administration.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with a 42% graduation rate and only 60% of freshmen returning for sophomore year, there are real questions about whether students are finishing what they start. On the positive side, the average net price of $17,805/year is genuinely affordable for a private college, and median debt of $15,750 is modest, which softens the risk if things don't go as planned. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated community in Georgia and have a clear plan for staying on track — but ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave.
