History
In 1967, an abandoned prison compound in Hertford County was purchased. The North Carolina General Assembly provided a fund to establish a 2-year vocational and technical training institution. The institution was initially founded as a technical institute. In 1981, Roanoke-Chowan Technical Institute was renamed Roanoke-Chowan Technical College. In 1987, the institution was again renamed to Roanoke-Chowan Community College.[2]
Campus
The community college is situated on a 41-acre tract of land and has seven buildings which house instructional space and administrative functions. A seven-acre Arboretum/Environmental Science Outdoor Laboratory is also part of the campus. The college has expanded into the vacant Northampton High School-East building to offer General Educational Development and computer literacy programs. In addition, there are several new[when?] programs such as a mechatronics engineering technology program.[3]
Academics
The college currently[when?] has about 20 curricular programs in which students may seek degrees, diplomas, and short-term skills-based certificates.
