REASONS TO ATTEND
LOWER COST PER CREDIT HOUR
ATC has a relatively low cost of attendance compared to other universities in state and throughout the country.
MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES
ATC has multiple transfer agreements with four-year universities.
SAFE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT
ATC is committed to a healthy, safe, and secure workplace and/or educational setting for all employees, students, and visitors. ATC strives to always stay in compliance with the federal law known as the "Clery Act".
FLEXIBILITY
ATC o ers exible schedules such as, weekend college, online programs, as well as day and evening course o erings to give students the ability to attend while working or raising a family.
LOCAL WORKFORCE TRAINING
ATC has good relationships with local employers in the community and o ers a broad selection of professionalized coursework that four-year universities often do not.
Our instructors have in- eld experience and teach using world-class program labs with the latest equipment. The student-to-instructor ratio is low (usually 15:1), creating a better one-on-one learning environment. ATC also o ers many opportunities for paid internships using an on-campus Career Services Center.
You’ll get the best of both worlds, too. In addition to academic excellence, there are opportunities to experience college life with memorable life experiences like collegiate sports and scores of social events. Basketball starts every fall with the Titans men’s and women’s division I intercollegiate level.
