Annually, ATC sets goals for student achievement and is committed to keeping the public informed on those goals and the college's success in achieving them.

State Licensure/Certification Examinations Pass Rates
Albany Technical College collects and evaluates both quantitative and qualitative data from internal data and external examination results to gauge student achievement at the institutional level. Some of the College’s programs prepare students for professions that require licensure and certification; therefore, we analyze the pass rate on the licensure and/or certification exam as a means of measuring student achievement for the required program. In applicable programs, program faculty review and evaluate the pass/failure performance on state licensure examinations to ensure that minimum standards are being met.
