History[edit]
Northeast Alabama Community College is one of twelve community colleges established in 1963 by the Alabama Legislature during the administration of George Wallace. NACC opened on September 30, 1965 under President Ernest Rudder Knox with an inaugural class of 380 freshmen. Operating under the quarter system, the college followed a general education curriculum in the liberal arts. Charles M. Pendley became president in 1982, and the college switched to the semester system in 1998. The current president, David Campbell, took office in 2001. The college continues to offer general education courses leading to degrees in the arts, sciences, and applied sciences,[6] and NACC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.[7]
