Andrew College was granted its charter as Andrew Female College by the Georgia legislature in 1854. At the founding, it was a four-year women's college. It was named for Bishop James Osgood Andrew of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Andrew College served as a hospital for wounded Confederate soldiers during the War Between the States. Following in 1892 fire consumed the college, but the people of Cuthbert raised money to begin rebuilding the same year.

In 1917, Andrew became a junior college and the institution became co-educational in 1956.

The college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In June 2006, SACS reviewed the college and gave the college a six month "warning."[1] The report concluded, "Andrew College was placed on Warning because the Commission determined that it failed to demonstrate compliance with Core Requirement 2.11 (Resources) of the Principles of Accreditation—the accreditation standards of the Commission. This requirement expects an accredited institution to provide evidence that it has a sound financial base and demonstrated financial stability to support the mission of the institution and the scope of its programs and services."[2] The school's "warning" status was removed in early December, 2006 and the status returned to full accreditation.

There are approximately 350 students, almost all of whom live on campus. They are almost evenly divided between male and female. There are students from about ten states and ten countries.

The minimum SAT scores are 430 math and 460 verbal, or the ACT equivalent, and a high school GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Almost all students attend four-year colleges after graduating from Andrew College.

The average class size at Andrew is twelve students.
