About This School

North Greenville University is a private nonprofit institution located in Tigerville, South Carolina with approximately 1,719 undergraduate students enrolled. North Greenville University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 63%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,612 per year. The graduation rate is 55%, and the typical graduate earns $36,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

North Greenville University is a private Baptist college in Tigerville, South Carolina. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and awards bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $15,000 median debt is refreshingly low, and a $20,612 average net price makes this one of the more affordable private college options you'll find. However, the 55% graduation rate and 69% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful number of students either leave or don't finish, which is worth asking the admissions office about directly. Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-based Baptist community and want to keep costs down, but come in with a clear plan — students who drift tend not to stick around.
