Searching for Colleges

These are colleges that colleges that I have never considered before that apply to different possible situations when looking for the right college for me.

Southern Polytechnic State University
  • Southern Poly is a college close to home that would be a good college for me to transfer from after two years.
  • It would be fairly cheap.
  • I could get used to college life at this college.
  • Accepts AP credits.
  • However, if I would want to stay for longer than two years, a Bachelor's degree is only offered in my interested major.
  • I will definitely apply to this school. It is a small in-state school close to home, which would be perfect for me for the beginning of my college career. It also focuses on mathematics and sciences which will allow me to receive a good education in my major while finishing my core classes.

University of Alabama at Birmingham
  • Out-of-state tuition is about $20,000.
  • Great Mathematics and Education program.
  • Can earn a Masters in Mathematics and a Doctoral in Education.
  • Is not very far from home.
  • Qualify for the Blazer Elite Scholarship which is $15,000 annually.
  • I can earn other scholarships that will value a few thousands of dollars.
  • Total cost would be about $15,00 to $18,000.

University of North Georgia

  • A half-hour drive from home.
  • Zell Miller Scholarship would pay for my entire tuition.
  • Total cost would only be a few thousand dollars.
  • Can receive an Associates in Mathematics and a Masters in Education.
  • This UNG would be the cheapest option with the best education for me. It is very close to home, in-state fees keep the cost low, and the Zell Miller will cover most of what I have to pay. This is a great college to go to for becoming a teacher.

  • Can earn a Masters and Doctoral in Mathematics.
  • Close to home (A few hours drive).
