community College
Community college is a great choice for many graduating seniors. It can earn you a two-year associate degree or teach you a specific trade. It can also be the starting place for a four-year bachelor's degree, as you can transfer to a UNC system school after earning your associate degree at a community college.
If you are solely applying to Community College(s), you do not need to take the ACT and SAT outside of school, as they are not required for admission.
The in-state cost for both SPCC and CPCC is $76 per credit hour, or a maximum of $1,216 for 16 credit hours.
