    Wallace State Community College - Hanceville Reviews

    I love Wallace because of the many promises in the medical field it offers! It has programs from registered nursing, emergency medical technician (EMT), radiology tech, respiratory therapy, licensed practical nurse, physical therapy assistant, dental hygienist, occupational therapy assistant, polysomnography, & sonography to only name a FEW of the many programs available to you in the small town of Hanceville Alabama. Although it is small, it is very MIGHTY. The professors here are devoted to their students & love to teach since teaching is usually their second or even third job opposed to their medical profession. If you are only interested in taking basics at Wallace, almost all of their credit hours will transfer so you don't have to worry about a waste of money for a community college class that some university's won't accept.

    Incredibly wonderful school. The professors and instructors here really, genuinely care about you and your education, and it shows. Everyone I have encountered is very friendly. They have a very wide array of degrees that are sought after, and even partner with major firms to get students working while they get their degree, and have a job immediately after graduating. They also partner with many four year institutions to provide very good scholarships to help with the greater expenses at a 4 year school. speaking of, it is an incredibly cheap school for the value one would get out of it.
    I love Wallace State! You can always find someone-whether it be a professor or a success coach-to help you figure out anything you are unsure of, which is very helpful in a new environment like college. Go Lions!
