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 American Civil War. 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.
