Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia (USA) was founded in 1854 and is the second oldest charter in the United States giving an educational institution the right to confer degrees upon women. It was originally called Andrew Female College.
It is a private liberal arts college that is associated with The United Methodist Church.
The campus has an interesting history. It served as Hood Hospital during the American Civil War. A fire consumed the campus in 1892 and with money raised by the people of Cuthbert rebuilding began the same year with the college reopening in the fall in a building now known as Old Main.
Old Main, a five story Victorian, was designed by Atlanta architect William H. Parkins, a significant Georgia architect after the Civil War.
In 1917 Andrew became a Junior College offering Associate Degrees. The college became co-educational in 1956. In 2018 the college began offering two four year degrees and additional baccalaureate degrees are being developed.
