CAMPUS SUMMARY
From its beginnings as a one-building campus off of Highway 27 in Walker County, Georgia, Northwestern Technical College has changed and grown with the communities of Northwest Georgia over the past five decades. Originally named the Walker County Area Vocational-Technical School, NTC enrolled 150 students in its first year. Today, we educate more than 2,000 students every quarter in more than 100 programs offered at the college which celebrated its fortieth anniversary in October 2006.

Today’s campus lies on nearly seventy acres in Rock Spring, Georgia. The college operates at full capacity on 34 of those acres. The remaining 36 are part of a land purchase made in 2006. The plans for using that land to improve the educational opportunities available at NTC are still in the works.

When NTC first opened its doors in 1966, the college fell under the domain of the Walker County Board of Education. In 1988, NTC left the Walker County Board Of Education system to work within the Technical College System of Georgia. Today, our neighbors in Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, and Walker County serve as the focus of our recruitment efforts at Northwestern Technical College. Students of all ages come from all walks of life to become a college student at NTC. From online, to hybrid, to traditional on-campus classes, we offer you a schedule that meets your needs.

Like other technical colleges with the Technical College System of Georgia, Northwestern Technical College was founded by an Act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1964. Our goal of offering our businesses trained workers and our neighbors the training to master those professions is something we strive for every day at NTC.
