Both campuses, Alexander City and Childersburg, are located in one of the South's principal industrial areas. Industries in both areas are diversified yet bolstered by the large payrolls of two leading textile mills in Alexander City and a leading paper products company and textile mill in the Childersburg area. Electrical energy, various foundries, emerging high tech companies, and many small businesses and industries comprise the economic base of the college's service area. Conveniently located to both campuses are the following four-year universities which allow for transferability of courses: Auburn University, Auburn University at Montgomery, Jacksonville State University, Troy State University, University of Alabama, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Montevallo, et al.
