About Milledgeville, Georgia

Milledgeville is a city in and the county seat of Baldwin County, Georgia, United States. Milledgeville served as Georgia's state capital from 1804 to 1868 and played a central role in shaping the state's early development. In recent decades, Milledgeville's economy has undergone significant changes as the community worked to offset the decline of employment at state-run facilities. (Wikipedia)

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 6 campuses (6,575 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.

College Scorecard / IPEDS, most recent year. Family income is total household income; net price covers tuition, fees, room, board and supplies after grant aid, for students receiving federal aid.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

25%
of first-years get a grant from the school
$4,409
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 25% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $4,409. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 739 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years)

Out-earn a HS grad
42%

Typical debt would take roughly 2.2 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.

The pay gap here

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.

Men
$43,815

Men out-earn women by $7,076 (19%) a decade out.

Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
