Key Statistics
About George C Wallace Community College-Dothan
George C. Wallace Community CollegeโDothan is a public two-year institution located in Dothan, Alabama, with an enrollment of approximately 3,017 students.
In-state tuition is $4,980 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $8,850 per year. The average annual net price โ the estimated total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied โ is $1,170. That figure suggests many students receive substantial aid; nearly half (47.1%) of students receive Pell Grants, a federal need-based award. Notably, none of the school's students take out federal student loans, meaning students here rely on grants, scholarships, or personal resources rather than federal borrowing to cover their costs.
The college offers programs in a range of career-focused fields. Examples relevant to working adults include training for electricians, industrial machinery mechanics, radiologic technologists, solar photovoltaic installers, and energy auditors, as well as programs in IT project management and preparation for roles such as police officer and physician assistant.
Median earnings of $31,399 per year are reported for students 10 years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled at the college, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broad population rather than graduates alone. Earnings will vary depending on the program completed, credential level, and individual circumstances.
No information on completion rates or loan repayment rates was provided for this profile.
