Atlanta Technical College is a public technical college in Atlanta, Georgia. It is part of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and provides education services for Fulton and Clayton counties. Atlanta Tech is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as, for specific programs, other organizations such as Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation, the American Culinary Federation, the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education, the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists, the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, and the American Bar Association (ABA). It previously was accredited by the Commission of the Council of Occupational Education. The school awards associate degrees, diplomas, and technical certificates of credit, and it offers short term continuing education courses.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into a technical career — the average net price is actually negative at -$864/year, meaning most students receive more in grants than they pay in tuition. The debt load at graduation is low ($6,334), which is a real advantage. However, the median earnings of $26,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so go in clear-eyed about salary expectations and make sure the specific program you choose aligns with local job demand.
