Established in 1965, Craven Community College in North Carolina was originally an extension of Lenoir Community College—Craven IEC (Industrial Education Center). It later added degree-awarding programs in several technical fields and became a technical institute. In the early 1970s, college-transfer degrees were added and the school became a community college.
Technical and transfer programs are offered to the various students. There are three campuses: New Bern (main campus), Havelock and MCAS Cherry Point in Craven County, North Carolina.
Dr. Scott Ralls is the president of the college, but he was selected on Dec. 6, 2007 to become the next president of the North Carolina Community College System. Dr. Cindy Hess is the executive vice president. The college motto is Reaching New Heights and the college mascot is the panther. The college is known for its nursing (ADN degree), allied health, computer science, and aeronautical technology (AAS degree) programs. In addition, a liberal-arts program leading to the AA degree is available. Many graduates have successfully transferred to senior institutions to seek bachelor's and advanced degrees.
New Bern is where most of the classes and college offices are located, and also the seat of government for Craven County. The various buildings located in New Bern contain the college studies and student activities. Many students who attend this campus live either in New Bern or surrounding areas, including Havelock. The college is locally known as an East Carolina University junior satellite campus as over 79% of the faculty and staff have earned a degree from that institution making for a fairly homogenic faculty pool. Having a degree from ECU greatly increases one's chances for garnering a position at CCC as the institution operates a "good old boys and girls" type of network.
The Havelock Campus is primarily known for being the home of the Institute of Aeronautical Technology (IAT). It is in proximity to MCAS Cherry Point and to its Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP), so there is a chance for certified students from the IAT school to work on the Air Station upon graduation. Several classes are held here, online, Cherry Point campus or at Havelock High School.
