About This School

Central Alabama Community College is a public institution located in Alexander City, Alabama with approximately 1,203 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,996 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Central Alabama Community College (CACC) is a public community college in Alexander City, Alabama, United States. The college enrolls over 1,500 students and has been accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools since 1969. As of 2018, the college has two campuses: the Alexander City Campus and the Childersburg Campus, and two instructional centers: the Talladega Center and the Pratt's Mill Center in Prattville.

This is a solid, low-risk option for students in the Alexander City area looking to earn an affordable credential without taking on heavy debt — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is remarkably low. The concern worth naming is that median earnings of $32,400 a decade out suggest most graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a specific vocational credential rather than a standalone career launcher.
