RCC Work Development & Continuing Educ

Randolph Community College began operation in 1962 as a joint city-county industrial education center under the direction of the Trades and Industrial Division, Department of Vocational Education. The North Carolina legislature in 1963 established a separate system of community colleges and the College became part of that system.

The College is approved by the North Carolina Community College System under the State Board of Community Colleges, as specified in Chapter 115D of the General Statutes of North Carolina. The College Board of Trustees has been granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science, Associate in Arts, and Associate in Science degrees, vocational diplomas, and certificates by the North Carolina Community College System and the State Board of Community Colleges.

Continuing Education curricula include a state-approved Adult High School Diploma program, General Educational Development program, and a variety of preparatory level programs. Degree, diploma, and preparatory programs (including high school) are approved for veterans.
