Shelton State is Most Popular 2-Year School in Alabama

Tuscaloosa - Dr. Rick Rogers, President of Shelton State Community College, announced that data from ACT shows that Shelton State was the most popular two-year institution in Alabama when adding all choices disregarding ranked preferences with 1,344 total choices.

The college entrance exam asks students to list schools to which they want their score sent, an indicator of where they are likely to apply.

“This report reflects statewide results, not just from our service area. Obviously, the quality of the programs at Shelton State is widely recognized,” said Rogers.
