Andrew College

What is the accreditation of Andrew College?

Andrew College is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, commonly called SACSCOC. Institutional accreditation applies to the college as a whole; it does not mean that every program has a separate professional accreditation.

This distinction is especially important for students considering a regulated occupation such as teaching. They should check the specific program's current approval and Georgia licensure requirements, not rely solely on the college's institutional status. Accreditation is also relevant to eligibility for federal student aid, but it never guarantees that another college will accept a particular transfer course. A receiving institution makes that decision under its own policies.

What are the admission requirements at Andrew College?

Andrew College does not operate under an open-admission policy. First-time, degree-seeking applicants should expect to submit an application and a secondary-school record showing high school completion or an accepted equivalent, such as a GED.

In its 2024-25 admissions reporting, the college identified the high school transcript and GPA as required considerations. SAT and ACT scores were neither required nor recommended, and recommendations and class rank were not listed as requirements. For students who did submit scores, the reported median was 1050 on the SAT and 20 on the ACT; those medians are not admission cutoffs. Applicants who need to demonstrate English proficiency should check the current TOEFL policy, including accepted alternatives and minimum scores. The latest application instructions should also govern deadlines and any requirements specific to a degree program.

Of 1,581 reported first-time applicants, 723 were admitted - an acceptance rate of about 46%. That describes a past applicant pool, not an individual applicant's odds.

What are the application fees and waivers at Andrew College?

Andrew College reported a $20 undergraduate application fee in its 2024-25 admissions information. Applicants should check the amount displayed in the current application before paying, since an application fee is separate from any later enrollment or housing payment.

Students seeking a fee waiver should ask admissions how to request one before submitting an application that requires payment. Waiver procedures can depend on the application method and an applicant's circumstances; eligibility should not be assumed from financial-aid eligibility alone.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Andrew College?

Prospective students should not assume that Andrew College operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit on its Cuthbert campus. Anyone planning an officer-commissioning route needs to establish whether participation through a host institution is currently permitted and logistically workable.

Before enrolling, ask both Andrew College and the prospective ROTC host about cross-enrollment, travel to training, course credit, scholarship eligibility, and the effect of a later transfer. ROTC scholarships and participation rules vary by branch; joining a commissioning program can also carry a military service obligation. General interest in military education benefits is not the same as admission to ROTC.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Andrew College?

Andrew College accepts transfer applicants for fall, spring, and summer enrollment. A transfer applicant should be prepared to provide official records from every college attended and to have prior coursework reviewed separately from the admission decision.

That separation is consequential: being admitted does not establish that every previously earned credit will satisfy an Andrew College degree requirement. Applicants should request a written, program-specific credit evaluation showing accepted courses, how they apply to the intended major, and what remains to graduate. They should also check the current admissions policy for any college GPA threshold, circumstances requiring a high school transcript, and the minimum number of credits that must be completed at Andrew. Students intending to transfer out later should obtain equivalent guidance from their intended destination college.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Andrew College?

Students interested in study abroad should verify an available route with Andrew College before treating an overseas term as part of their degree plan. An overseas course, whether offered through a college or an outside provider, does not automatically count toward an Andrew credential.

The practical questions are whether a proposed program is approved, which courses will fulfill degree requirements, who will issue the transcript, and how the timing affects graduation. Financial-aid eligibility can differ by program and enrollment arrangement. Written academic and aid approval is particularly important for students on a tightly sequenced associate or teacher-education pathway.
