Northeast Alabama Community College (NACC) is a public community college near Rainsville, Alabama. It offers programs leading to the associate degree in the arts, sciences, and applied sciences. NACC has an enrollment of just over 3,000 students. The college was founded in 1963 and built on the border between DeKalb and Jackson counties, partially in the small town of Powell.
This is a strong option if you're looking to minimize costs — the average net price is just $1,612 per year, and graduates leave with a median debt of only $4,400, which is remarkably low. The tradeoff is that median earnings 10 years out sit at $31,700, so if you're pursuing an associate degree here as a final credential rather than a transfer stepping stone, it's worth thinking carefully about long-term earning potential in your chosen field. Best suited for students planning to transfer to a four-year school or enter a specific local trade or healthcare program where that salary figure aligns with realistic regional expectations.
