The college emphasizes small class sizes (average 20 students) and a 20:1 student-to-faculty ratio, enabling personalized instruction. In 2018, Andrew resumed offering baccalaureate degrees after operating as a junior college since 1917. Online programs and dual enrollment options are available for flexible learning pathways.

Campus & Student Life

The 50-acre campus in southwest Georgia hosts approximately 602 students, with over 80% living in residence halls. The college fosters a close-knit community where faculty know students by name. Students engage in 14 competitive athletic teams, fine and performing arts programs (drama, chorus, instrumental music), intramurals, clubs, and leadership initiatives. The Pitts Library provides research databases, study spaces, and technology resources including 3D printing and podcast studios.

Admissions & Financial Aid

Andrew College welcomes students from 30 states and several countries, with the majority from Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The application process is described as quick and easy. Notably, 99% of Andrew College students receive some form of institutional financial support. The college offers academic, athletic, fine arts, and servant leadership scholarships, and Georgia Hope Scholars may qualify for additional aid. Total tuition and fees plus room and board for 2025–2026 is $32,224, though institutional aid exceeding $4 million significantly reduces the true cost.

Athletics & Outcomes

Andrew competes as a NJCAA Division I member in the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association (GCAA) and Region XVII. The baseball team reached the NJCAA College World Series in 2023. Football, cheerleading, and wrestling debuted in fall 2024; the football team finished 5–2 in its inaugural season.
