Wallace State CC 1.2.1 [free]

Since opening our doors in 1966, Wallace State has served hundreds of thousands of students. From the very beginning, Wallace State embraced a commitment to excellence that has
become not only a tradition but our source of inspiration.
Today, Wallace State is one of the largest colleges in the Alabama Community College System, serving more than 7,000 students each semester in credit and non-credit programs.
The college is a virtual powerhouse in educational programming, with more than 100 programs of study leading to degree, certificate and transfer opportunities, and careers.


Our focus on excellence is evident in our personal commitment to serving students and in the technologically-advanced learning environments that ensure our students receive the
most effective education.


Wallace State provides seamless educational opportunities from early high school entry to the graduate level. Through dual enrollment, the FastTrack Academy, Tech-Prep, and
other early college programs, high school students seeking college credit will find their needs met here. The STARS articulation system guarantees our students transferability
of credit to any Alabama public college or university. For those who want to complete their bachelor's and master’s degrees on campus, Wallace State students may take advantage
of our University Center partnerships and special articulation agreements, including those with Athens State University, the University of Alabama, UAB, Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University, Auburn University, and Troy University.


Our graduates gain competitive jobs and high praise from employers. Licensure rates rank at or above state and national averages, and our students score above the national
average on the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Performance (CAAP).


As always at Wallace State, we believe students are the reason we exist and place student learning and success at the forefront of our activities and initiatives.


 We look
forward to serving you.
