Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

it's an inexpenssive school, good for student paying their own tuition without any financial aid or scholarships.
Melissa from McDonough, GA
Gordon College is absolutely the best college in Georgia to go to if you're on a tight budget. You get the same education for much less than you would at any other college in Georgia. Even though most students only get their Associates before they transfer to another college, Gordon does offer 4-year programs for Nursing and Early Childhood Education. If you're looking to go in either of those fields, then Gordon College is the right college. You will save a lot of money and get the exact same degree as someone else who paid a lot more and attended another college.
Jill from Locust Grove, GA
My mom has always told me, It does not matter what college you go to or how much you pay, you still get the same education. Although I do not agree whole-heartedly, Gordon does give you a decent education without breaking the bank.
Shakarra from Zebulon, GA
Same if not better experience with professors and classes than more expensive university like Georgia tech or University of Georgia.
Andrew from Marietta, GA
It is really good for the price which is the main reason I started out here at Gordon.
Dylan from Thomaston, GA
Here are the golden points. Gordon College is one of several, if not the only most inexpensive school in the state of Georgia to attend. Not only are you getting your money worth with the small class ratio, and PhD level professors, you are also saving money and being able to pay back any student loans, if you even needed to take out many. Gordon College is more than worth the expense in comparison to other colleges and universities
Brittany from Lawrenceville, GA
This is the go to college for cheap tuition and an awesome education. You're able to get all if not most of your core classes put of the way and not break your beank or drown in student loans. Plus, almost all credits are transferrable.
