Welcome to Cougar Nation!
On behalf of the entire Augusta Technical College community, I extend a warm welcome and sincere thanks for choosing our institution to pursue your academic and career goals.
Since 1961, Augusta Tech has proudly served the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) with a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and access. From academic programs and adult education to continuing education and workforce training, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and strengthening our region.
Our mission is clear: to build a skilled workforce and create economically stronger communities across our five-county service area—Burke, Columbia, Lincoln, McDuffie, and Richmond counties. We are proud to offer flexible, affordable, and accessible learning opportunities that meet the needs of both our students and community partners.
Augusta Technical College delivers high-quality, accredited programs through face-to-face, hybrid, and fully online formats, with accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). I invite you to explore our website to discover the wide range of programs and services available to support your journey.
Beyond the classroom, I encourage you to get involved in student activities, engage with our campus community, and utilize our many student support services designed to help you thrive. Our faculty and staff are here to guide, encourage, and support you every step of the way.
We are proud to have you as part of Cougar Nation—and we’re excited to see all that you’ll accomplish.
