About This School

Gwinnett Technical College is a public institution located in Lawrenceville, Georgia with approximately 7,395 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,599 per year. Typical graduates earn $36,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Gwinnett Technical College is a public technical college in the U.S. state of Georgia with campuses in Lawrenceville and Alpharetta. It is a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Since opening its doors as the Gwinnett Area Technical School in 1984, the college has added numerous programs of study, made two name changes, expanded its facilities and experienced enrollment growth. Currently, the Lawrenceville campus is 88 acres and the Alpharetta-North Fulton Campus is 25 acres.

Worth considering if you're pursuing a technical or vocational career path on a tight budget — with a median debt of just $7,056 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable ways to get credentialed in Georgia. That said, median earnings of $36,600 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most financial sense for programs with clear local job demand (healthcare, IT, skilled trades) rather than as a stepping stone to a four-year degree. If you know exactly what career you're training for, the low cost and manageable debt make this a genuinely smart choice.
