About This School
Shearz Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Lithia Springs, Georgia with approximately 75 undergraduate students enrolled.
With only 75 enrolled undergraduates, this is an extremely small, for-profit school in Lithia Springs, GA, and that profile alone warrants serious caution before applying. For-profit institutions at this scale often struggle with limited resources, accreditation vulnerabilities, and outcomes that don't justify the cost — and without strong graduation rate or earnings data to point to, that concern is hard to dismiss. Before your family commits any time or money here, I'd strongly encourage requesting the school's on-time graduation rate, median graduate earnings, and default rate on federal loans directly from their admissions office, then comparing those numbers against community colleges or Georgia's public university system. If you're drawn to a hands-on or vocational program in this region, Georgia Piedmont Technical College and Kennesaw State both offer more established pathways with better-documented student outcomes. Honestly, the small size isn't inherently a dealbreaker, but for-profit schools at this enrollment level carry real risk, and your family deserves clear answers before signing anything.
