Amridge University

Amridge University is a private non-profit institution based in Montgomery, Alabama, that delivers all of its programs entirely online. The school is small, with an enrollment of approximately 241 students.

Tuition is $7,590 per year, the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Financial need appears to be common among the student body: 76.6% of students receive Pell grants, which are federal awards reserved for undergraduates with significant financial need. A large share of students also borrow to fund their education — 81% of all students take out federal student loans. Among those who completed a credential, the median federal loan debt was $32,189. One indicator of repayment difficulty: only 23.1% of borrowers are currently reducing their loan balances over a three-year period, meaning the majority are not making progress on their principal.

Amridge reports a graduation rate of 100%. Median earnings stand at $37,621 per year, measured ten years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally aided students who enrolled — including those who did not complete a degree — so it reflects the broader population of students who attended, not only graduates.

Programs at Amridge are oriented toward professional and human services fields. Areas of study include business-related disciplines such as human resources management, supply chain management, and compliance; counseling fields such as mental health counseling and substance abuse counseling; and programs that may lead to careers in management consulting, law enforcement, or related areas.
