Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)
For families earning $75k – $110k, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $113. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.
The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedHerzing University-Atlanta does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $61,772, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: most students study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 287 of Herzing University-Atlanta's 555 students (52%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 218 (39%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Median earnings of graduates who received federal student aid, worked, and were not enrolled in school; debt is the median federal loans borrowed at this college by graduates who borrowed (Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS; not Parent PLUS, private loans or interest). Programs with too few graduates are suppressed by the Department of Education. The Department reports these figures for all 11 campuses that share Herzing University-Atlanta's federal aid ID, not for this campus alone. Monthly payment assumes a standard 10-year plan.

Frequently asked questions
About Herzing University-Atlanta
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Herzing University-Atlanta located?
- Herzing University-Atlanta is located in Atlanta, GA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Herzing University-Atlanta?
- Herzing University-Atlanta is a private university based in GA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Herzing University-Atlanta?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Herzing University-Atlanta is approximately 94% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Herzing University-Atlanta?
- Herzing University-Atlanta's published in-state tuition is approximately $13,450 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Herzing University-Atlanta?
- Herzing University-Atlanta reports total enrollment of approximately 435 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Herzing University-Atlanta actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Herzing University-Atlanta is approximately $21,679 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Herzing University-Atlanta?
- Herzing University-Atlanta reports a graduation rate of approximately 14% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Herzing University-Atlanta have?
- Students who borrowed at Herzing University-Atlanta left with a median of approximately $21,500 in federal loans, and about 79% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Herzing University-Atlanta earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $36,909 for students who received federal financial aid at Herzing University-Atlanta. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Herzing University-Atlanta?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Herzing University-Atlanta.
- How much do Health and Medical Administration graduates from Herzing University-Atlanta earn?
- Herzing University-Atlanta's associate's graduates in Health and Medical Administration earned a median $38,352 four years after graduating, 3% above the $37,073 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $30,821; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $25,615 in federal loans at this college (about $272 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $35,484 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 11 campuses that share Herzing University-Atlanta's federal aid ID.
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Herzing University-Atlanta earn?
- Herzing University-Atlanta's bachelor's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $91,010 four years after graduating, about the same as the $88,910 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $75,774; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $27,573 in federal loans at this college (about $292 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $43,985 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 11 campuses that share Herzing University-Atlanta's federal aid ID. For context, registered nurses in Georgia are paid a median $93,550 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- Which programs at Herzing University-Atlanta have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 14 programs at Herzing University-Atlanta with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Nursing (RN), bachelor's ($91,010); Business Administration, master's ($70,854); and IT Administration and Management, bachelor's ($70,624) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Herzing University-Atlanta get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Herzing University-Atlanta's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $61,772, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
