Young Harris College is a private Methodist-affiliated liberal arts college in Young Harris, Georgia, United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $11,008 average net price and relatively low $12,000 median debt are genuinely appealing, but a 46% graduation rate means fewer than half of entering students finish — a red flag worth asking admissions about directly. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, faith-affiliated liberal arts experience in a small mountain-town setting and have a clear plan for staying enrolled, but look carefully at what's driving that attrition before committing.
