ĢƵ Ranked Among the State’s Top Community Colleges
ĢƵ has secured the #1 spot among community colleges in northeastern NC and #11 in the state on WalletHub’s latest ranking of public two-year institutions across the U.S. The personal finance website utilized data from the 2025 to 2026 academic year.
WalletHub evaluated community colleges nationwide based on a comparison of 18 key factors, including cost and financing, education outcomes and career outcomes. The study’s goal is to identify top community colleges providing a quality education at an affordable price.
“We appreciate the high recognitions and accolades we receive from Wallethub and others each year. They are reflections of the hard work, dedication, and excellence of our students, faculty, staff, donors and community partners,” said ĢƵ President Dr. Greg McLeod. “And while we don’t seek or apply for these accolades, the recognitions encourage us to continue striving to be all we can be for the benefit of our students and community.”
Fifty-one of the 58 public community colleges in the state were included in the ranking.
