Dalton State College

14049 Scenic Highway, Lookout Mountain, GA

Dalton State College (Dalton State) is the 24^th of Georgia’s 35 units that operate under the University System of Georgia. Chartered in 1963, it was the community’s answer to a long hope that started when Joe Brown University shut down in the late 19^th century. Today, Dalton State proudly offers baccalaureate programs in more than a dozen disciplines, including Accounting, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education and Technology Management.

Dalton currently enrolls nearly 6,000 students every year, and has been continuously accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to grant associate degrees since the first accreditation year (1969.) In 1998, its focus shifted to baccalaureate degrees, and it continues to serve the Dalton community in that capacity.

Tuition at Dalton State is an affordable $2,800 per year for in-state students, which is typically supported by financial aid from several sources. Campus activities are plentiful, and primarily focus on sports, fitness and recreation. Students are encouraged to develop their social skills by participating in the many events organized each year.

The college also focuses heavily on civic engagement to develop leadership qualities in its students, and believes that community involvement is innate in everyone with the desire to serve their community and lead people.

Dalton State Housing is provided on a first-come-first-served basis, and students must maintain a course load of no less than 9 credit hours per semester. Summer Bridge Housing is also available under similar terms of occupancy, but at highly reduced rates.
