What changed in 2024
Albany State University increased from 16 to 23 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 GA 4-year peers in this comparison, Albany State University is larger than 83% and safer-reporting than 8% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Albany State University rose from 16 to 23 (+44%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 9), Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1) and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Fondling (7 to 4) and Robbery (3 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Albany State University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 8 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Rape, Robbery, Motor Vehicle Theft, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 3 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Arson, Incest and Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Albany State University sits on price and outcomes
At $11,898, Albany State University's reported average net price is cheaper than 28% among 124 Georgia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,482.

- average net price

- Georgia median
- 1.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,631
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $10,693 for families reporting under $30,000 against $17,324 above $110,000, a difference of $6,631. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $11,898 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $35,579, roughly 3.0 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
