School Description

Provided by Randolph Community College

Our mission is to provide comprehensive education, training, and services to adults consistent with the identified needs of students and the community.

We believe that accessible, affordable, quality education in the community college system is the very best opportunity that many thousands of North Carolinians will ever have to enter into the world of higher education.

Both credit and noncredit classes are offered at Randolph Community College, which is situated near the geographic center of North Carolina, adjacent to the ancient mountains in the area known as the Uwharries. The College is located at 629 Industrial Park Avenue in Asheboro.

The College is located in an area with a rich tradition. Arts and crafts are preserved both commercially and individually. Today people see the same mountains and streams and pass the same locations of homesteads, mills, churches and schools that were known to the people of 1799. Asheboro, with a population of just over 24,000, is the home of the North Carolina Zoological Park located off U.S. 64, 5 miles southeast of Asheboro. County wide, the College draws from a population base of over 144,000.

You will not find a place more dedicated to the success of the student than Randolph Community College. The faculty, staff, and administration of this College are here for only one reason - to help you succeed in attaining your personal, academic, and career goals. Our budget, our schedule, our organizational structure, our job descriptions, our policies, our procedures - everything at RCC! - are all aimed at student success. At this College, it is truly all about you!!
