About This School
George C Wallace State Community College-Hanceville is a public institution located in Hanceville, Alabama with approximately 4,423 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,170 per year. The graduation rate is 50%, and the typical graduate earns $34,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — with median debt of just $8,200 at graduation, students here leave with far less financial burden than at most four-year schools. The concern is earnings: the median income 10 years out is $34,800, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a university or a targeted two-year career program rather than a final destination. If cost control and a local, manageable campus are priorities, the math works in your favor here.
