North Metro Technical College (commonly North Metro Tech, or NMTC ) was a two-year state technical college located in the state of Georgia, and governed by the Technical College System of Georgia. The college was accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees since 2006. Since the beginning of July 2009, it is now the North Metro campus of nearby Chattahoochee Technical College. As suggested by its name, North Metro primarily served students from four suburban counties of north-northwestern metropolitan Atlanta: Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, and Paulding, where together almost all of its student body resides. Forty percent live in Cobb, while over one quarter of the students live in Bartow. The campus, now a campus of Chattahoochee Technical College is located in the southeast corner of Bartow County, however the street address is listed as Acworth, which is across the county line in Cobb. It is located west of I-75, with exits 278 (Glade Road) and 277 (Georgia 92) being the most convenient exits to the campus. The college operated on the quarter system, as opposed to the semester system.
