Read What Students Are SayingThe classes that you will take at College of the Albemarle will benefit you for the rest of your life. You will not have to take stupid classes that there is no point in taking. I attended COA to get my basic general education before transferring to get my Bachelor's degree. The information I learned at COA can be applied to everyday life, not just college classes.
