About This School

North Georgia Technical College is a public institution located in Clarkesville, Georgia with approximately 1,910 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,005 per year. Typical graduates earn $26,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) is a public technical college in Clarkesville, Georgia, with additional campuses in Toccoa and Blairsville. It is part of the Technical College System of Georgia. The college serves Habersham, Stephens, Union, Fannin, White, Rabun, Towns, and Franklin counties.

This is a strong option for students in northeast Georgia who want an affordable, career-focused credential without taking on significant debt — at just $4,361/year average net price and a median graduation debt of $5,657, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, be clear-eyed about the earning potential: median earnings of $26,300 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing specific in-demand technical programs in the region rather than expecting broad career mobility.
