LaGrange College

What LaGrange College does

LaGrange College is a private four-year institution of higher education founded in 1831 in LaGrange, Georgia, making it the oldest private college in the state. It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church through the North Georgia Conference and is affirmed by the University Senate of the United Methodist Church. The college enrolls a mix of traditional undergraduates, graduate students, and international students, delivering instruction across 50+ majors, minors, and pre-professional programs in residential and on-campus formats, with a 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio and an 87% placement rate for the Class of 2024 in jobs or graduate school by graduation day.

The academic portfolio is supported by programmatic accreditations from SACSCOC (institutional), ACEN (BSN nursing), ACBSP (business and accountancy), CACREP (M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling), and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (teacher education). Core technology infrastructure is the Jenzabar-powered MyLC student portal, which provides academic, financial aid, and campus-life information. Graduate offerings have been extended into applied fields including an MS in Computer Science and clinical counseling, alongside a new Manufacturing Engineering Technology program tied to local industry partners KIA, Hyundai-Transys, and Weiler Forestry.

Revenue is generated through subscription-style recurring streams — primarily undergraduate and graduate tuition, room and board for residential students, donations via the Give channel, and federal student aid administration. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: prospective students engage via the website, campus visits and Preview Days, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and direct admissions contact (706-880-8005, [email protected]). Distribution is regional, anchored in the Southeast United States, with limited international recruiting and study-abroad programming.
