About 'colleges ranked by academics'|An academic rank tempestuous tale at UP!








You're               laid               off,               the               victim               of               downsizing,               or               your               company               went               belly               up...

and               you               can't               find               work.

What               to               do               next?
               Economic               uncertainty               often               increases               college               enrollment               as               displaced               workers               seek               new               skills.

Ironically               however,               during               economic               downturns,               the               issue               of               how               money               is               spent               becomes               more               critical.

Bargain               hunting               increases               significantly,               even               in               education,               as               workers               invest               in               learning               new               skills               for               a               future               return.
               Alabama               has               22               community/junior               colleges               in               its               67               counties,               including               four               technical               colleges,               Athens               State               University               -               the               state's               exclusive               upper               level-only               institution               -               and               Marion               Military               Institute,               one               of               five               military               junior               colleges               in               the               United               States,               which               are               all               overseen               by               the               Alabama               Community               College               System.

Its               three-fold               charge               -               Academics,               Adult               Education,               and               Workforce               Development               -               also               means               that               it               has               a               significant               role               in               the               state's               economy.
               Nearly               300,000               residents               are               assisted               annually               with               some               form               of               education,               either               through               Accelerated               High               School/Dual               Enrollment,               early               college               articulation,               or               GED               completion,               while               over               125,000               are               enrolled               in               for-credit               coursework.
               Affordable               Education               Important
               In               modern               history,               Alabama's               elected               leaders               early               on               recognized               the               importance               of               higher               education,               and               during               his               second               elected               term,               late               former               Governor               George               C.

Wallace               had               a               dream               to               enable               every               Alabamian               access               to               higher               education.

Jane               Phillips,               secretary               to               the               president               of               Southern               Union               Community               College               said,               "he               wanted               a               college               every               30               miles."
               While               over               the               years,               that               dream               has               taken               on               a               new               form,               due               in               part               to               increased               availability               of               automobiles,               increased               accessibility               through               road               construction               and               public               infrastructure,               distance               learning               via               the               Internet               and               other               factors,               higher               education               in               Alabama's               Community               College               system               remains               a               best               bargain,               even               when               compared               to               the               state's               four-year               university               system.
               Standards               throughout               the               system               are               uniform               for               various               aspects               of               higher               education,               including               those               for               admissions               and               enrollment,               academic               performance,               and               instructor               compensation.

By               law,               tuition               costs               at               Alabama's               Community               Colleges               are               uniform               and               fixed,               so               competition               for               students               is               not               only               keen,               but               in               part,               also               population               driven.

Obtaining               a               sheepskin               can               be               quite               economical,               and               with               an               tuition               of               approximate               $4900               per               year,               the               price               of               earning               an               Associate               Degree               can               be               around               $10,000.
               High               Quality               Acknowledged
               Recently,               Washington               Monthly               magazine,               an               independent               publication,               ranked               over               600               community               and               junior               colleges               throughout               the               United               States.

Compiling               data               from               the               U.S.

Department               of               Education,               and               the               Community               College               Survey               of               Student               Engagement,               they               created               a               "Top               50"               list               of               the               best               programs               in               the               nation.

Lawson               State               Community               College               in               Birmingham               made               the               list,               ranking               39th               overall.
               Spokeswoman               Geri               Albright               said,               "We               would               have               been               ranked               higher,               were               it               not               for               our               graduation               rate."
               While               students               graduate               -               Lawson's               passage               rate               fluctuates               between               77-80%               -               previously,               upon               matriculation,               students               had               to               declare               degree-seeking               intent,               or               they               would               not               be               granted               a               degree               or               certificate.

However,               change               is               underway               in               several               colleges'               offices               to               grant               degrees               and               certificates               once               a               student               completes               all               required               course               work               in               a               program,               regardless               of               whether               they               transfer               to               a               university,               or               not.
               Interest               in               programs               throughout               the               state               are               similarly               reflected               in               each               campus.

Statewide,               the               Top               5               Disciplines               Awarded               in               2007-2008               in               order,               were,               Health               Professions-8046;               Business               Administration-8007;               Education-5617;               Liberal               Arts-3469;               and               Engineering-1860.
               Wallace               State               Community               College               in               Hanceville               has               a               widely               regarded               Nursing               and               Allied               Health               curriculum,               producing               RNs,               LPNs,               EMTs,               Respiratory               Therapists,               and               more.

Community               College               Week               magazine               this               summer               ranked               them               10th               nationally               among               two-year               institutions               in               their               "Top               50               Associate               Degrees:               Health               Professions               and               Related               Clinical               Services,"               and               ranked               them               among               the               "Top               100               Associate               Degree               Producers"               nationally.

As               well               the               Alabama               Commission               on               Higher               Education               reports               Wallace               State               produces               more               Associate               Degrees               than               any               other               state               community               college.
               The               school's               passage               rate               of               students               sitting               for               professional               licensing               exams               is               above               the               state               and               national               average.

Most               recently,               the               American               College               Testing               service               (ACT)               released               a               report               which               ranked               Wallace               State               as               a               first               choice               among               Alabama's               community               colleges               by               high               school               graduates               in               2010.

In               the               Fall               2009               semester,               over               two               thirds               of               its               11,340               students               were               enrolled               part-time.

Their               "Our               Graduates               Work"               slogan               is               not               mere               hyperbole.

Before               each               student               graduates,               the               college               actively               seeks               a               match               for               appropriate               apprenticeship,               internship               or               cooperative               educational               opportunity               to               enhance               their               career               potential               upon               graduation.
