Choosing a college is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. We pride ourselves on the quality, hands-on education that you receive from ABAC. We expect you to succeed. Faculty, staff and administrators are committed to helping you do so. ABAC has a nationally-accredited, free of charge tutoring center to build upon what you learn in the classroom. I encourage you to make the most of your college search process and tour campuses. I am convinced that you will find the beautiful ABAC campus warm and inviting. You will find our people to be eager to provide personal assistance. You will not be just another student. Are you looking for value? You should be. Getting more for less is possible at ABAC.

When you leave ABAC you will be prepared for life that is college done right. My office is located on the second floor of the newly renovated Tift Hall; stop by and say hello while you are on campus.
