About This School
Reinhardt University is a private nonprofit institution located in Waleska, Georgia with approximately 1,066 undergraduate students enrolled. Reinhardt University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 62%. The average net price after financial aid is $24,425 per year. The graduation rate is 44%, and the typical graduate earns $40,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Reinhardt University is a private university with its main campus in Waleska, Georgia, and its Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences in Jasper. Over 50 graduate and undergraduate programs are offered on campus and online. Reinhardt is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The 620-acre campus includes hiking trails, disc golf, professional concerts at the Falany Performing Arts Center, athletic teams, and the Funk Heritage Center and Bennett History Museum.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 36% graduation rate and 57% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish, which is a serious concern worth asking the school about directly. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $13,156, and the beautiful 620-acre Waleska campus with performing arts, athletics, and a nursing program in Jasper offers a genuinely distinctive small-college experience. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, faith-affiliated environment and have a clear plan to stay on track — but look hard at why so many students leave before finishing.
