Andrew College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $19,604
Finding Andrew College charges 33% below the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $19,604. That is 33% below the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Georgia median ($8,492), sticker tuition is about 2.3×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 65% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private non-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at Andrew College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Andrew College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Andrew College is $21,823.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $21,823 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $12,626 above the Georgia median net price.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
Interpretation Average net price is a stronger institutional cost signal than published tuition because it incorporates grant aid.
Limitation The campus average masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average.
Key takeaway At Andrew College, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
