Abstract:

The North Carolina Community College System is the country's third largest. Around 800,000 students are served by 58 colleges with more than 100 campuses. Not only does the system provide citizens with basic skills for the workplace, it also makes available and provides higher education instruction. Gimpel highlights a number of the colleges and an offered specialty that is determined by the school's location: Brunswick Community College (aquaculture); Sandhills Community College (golf course management); and Surry Community College (grape cultivation and wine making).

Abstract:

North Carolina's fifty-eight community colleges prepare workers for jobs in existing industries and for the jobs of the future. There is a campus practically within a thirty-minute drive of every state citizen. The community college system had 158,000 students enrolled in distance learning programs in 2004, and another 800,000 students took at least one course on campus. Maurer discusses some of the more unusual course offerings, including aquaculture and marine science, aviation, court reporting and captioning, crime scene investigation, cyberscience investigation, culinary technology and hospitality, and nanotechnology.

Abstract:

The state's community college system was developed in the 1960s by W. Dallas Herring, former Chairman of the State Board of Education. By 2008, changing economic dynamics prompted a reevaluation of the system and how to meet the state's educational, and ultimately employment, needs. The author assesses what he determined to be four critical areas of concern faced by community colleges (\"nontraditional\" students, completion rates, work force shortage, and lack of infrastructure for students) and how to overcome these issues to create a more productive system and better educated and qualified workforce for the state.

Abstract:

Historically, the community college system developed to provide the state with a qualified work-force to fill manufacturing jobs beginning with Buncombe County Junior College in 1928. Having been organized into a state-wide system in 1963 under the Community College Act, this network of institutions faced contemporary problems of changing economic demands throughout the early 2000s. The author presents the history of the community college system to try and anticipate how this institution will need to adapt to future developments within the state's evolving economy.

Abstract:

The article reviews the diverse student population served by community colleges with a statistical breakdown of enrolled students by age, race, part-time or full-time. Compared with the University of North Carolina system, community college students can be qualified as 'non-traditional' and working students. Trends within the enrollments in the community college system reflect diversifying demographics for the entire state.
