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).
