About This School

Georgia Northwestern Technical College is a public institution located in Rome, Georgia with approximately 4,080 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $1,432 per year. Typical graduates earn $29,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is a public technical college serving nine counties across northwestern Georgia. It operates under the Technical College System of Georgia. The college has six campuses: Catoosa County campus, Walker County Campus, Floyd County Campus, Gordon County Campus, Polk County Campus, and Whitfield-Murray Campus.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a trade or technical career — at just $1,432 per year after aid and median debt of under $4,000 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. The honest concern is earning potential: graduates typically bring in around $29,700 a decade out, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense for specific in-demand programs like healthcare or skilled trades where local job demand can push your pay higher than that median suggests.
