Private College in Waleska, GA. Six-year graduation rate 44%. Median 10-year earnings $46,541.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $46,541 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 44%, meaning about three in five students who start do not finish. Median debt at graduation is $23,900, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Admissions
62% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 1,841 students applied in the most recent cycle — a mid-sized pool drawn mostly from the surrounding region. 30% of those admitted enroll, which is unremarkable in either direction.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 62% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. Transfer-out runs to 18% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,012 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $24,550 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,877 at $0–30k, $26,816 at $110k+. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $23,833, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 60% take federal loans.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $21,877 |
| $30–48k | $21,977 |
| $48–75k | $23,758 |
| $75–110k | $28,296 |
| $110k+ | $26,816 |
