Newberry College is a private Lutheran college in Newberry, South Carolina. As of 2023, it had 1,521 students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 44% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before committing. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $15,750, and the net price of around $20,000/year is reasonable for a private college with a close-knit, faith-affiliated community. Worth considering if you're drawn to small-school personal attention and Lutheran values, but have an honest conversation about what support systems are in place to help you stay on track to graduation.
