ALBANY — Albany Technical College (ATC) recently ranked in the top half of the nation’s best community colleges, according to a study by WalletHub.
Out of the 12 Georgia colleges considered, ATC is the only college in Georgia, south of Macon, to make the top 400.
ATC placed seventh out of the 12 Georgia colleges represented, and 337 out of 821, nationally. As a state, Georgia was named the eleventh best state in community college education.
The study analyzed 821 schools from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), and each school was given a score out of a possible 100 points. Albany Tech received a score of 47.34.
These points are based on twelve different metrics falling under the three following categories: cost and financing, educational outcomes, and career outcomes. Some factors included tuition, retention, student-loan default rate, and student-faculty ratio.
