Snead State Community College has a history rich in tradition. Snead is the oldest College in the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) to award associate degrees. The school, originating in 1898, was founded on a commitment to excellence and service, and today we continue that tradition by providing affordable tuition, challenging curriculum, cutting-edge technology, and knowledgeable and experienced faculty and staff which tie together to prepare students for their future. With one of the largest distance education programs in the State, the College reaches out to students beyond its service area. Within its academic transfer and career technical programs, Snead State is dedicated to excellence in meeting the educational needs of those we serve through the completion of degree and certificate programs, workforce development, and community engagement. At Snead State we are small enough to know you by name yet large enough to shape your future.
