About This School
Athens Technical College is a public institution located in Athens, Georgia with approximately 3,153 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,876 per year. Typical graduates earn $30,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Athens Technical College is a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) in Athens, Georgia. It was founded in 1958 as Athens Area Vocational-Technical School. The school was renamed Athens Area Technical Institute in 1987 and took its current name in 2000. It offers certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees in business, health, technical, and manufacturing-related fields.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a career-focused credential — at just $5,876 per year after aid, the cost is genuinely low. The concern is the earnings picture: graduates report a median income of $30,100 a decade after enrolling, which is modest and worth weighing against your specific program, since some fields here will outperform that average while others may not. This school makes the most sense for students pursuing a defined trade, healthcare, or technical certification with a clear local job market in mind.
