About This School

Stillman College is a private nonprofit institution located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with approximately 761 undergraduate students enrolled. Stillman College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 74%. The average net price after financial aid is $12,272 per year. The graduation rate is 41%, and the typical graduate earns $33,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Stillman College is a private historically black Presbyterian college in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It awards Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in 22 programs housed within three academic schools. The college has an average enrollment of 728 students and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the $12,272 average net price makes this one of the more affordable private college options, and its HBCU identity with 22 degree programs in a tight-knit community of under 800 students can be genuinely valuable for the right student. However, a 41% graduation rate is a real concern, meaning fewer than half of entering students finish, and median earnings of $33,700 a decade out suggest limited financial upside for most graduates. Worth considering if the HBCU experience and low cost are priorities, but go in with eyes open and a clear plan to be part of that graduating minority.
