Program Spotlight For Fall 2015 | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    WASHINGTON, N.C. — As the Fall 2015 semester approaches, Beaufort County Community College has a wide range of Associate Degree, Diploma, Certificate and Developmental Education programs available. Now is the time to take the first step toward a better future. Here are just a few of the programs your community college has to offer.

    For students interested in a four-year degree, BCCC's College Transfer program is designed to provide instruction in the essential skills of oral and written communications, math concepts and critical thinking, as well as the humanities, arts, social sciences and natural sciences, preparing students to transfer to senior institutions as juniors. Enrolling at BCCC for the first two years of a four-year path can result in thousands of dollars in savings, both from lower tuition costs and a lower cost-of-living, greatly reducing the amount of debt accumulated during school.

    The average annual cost of tuition and fees at universities in the UNC system is $6,294, compared to only $2,368 at BCCC. Tuition and fees at private four-year institutions in North Carolina range from more than $25,000 to almost $50,000 per year. BCCC College Transfer students also benefit from a more personal classroom experience as well as experienced academic advisors to guide them through the process from placement to completion of their degrees.

    For students interested in social services, there is an Associate in Applied Science Degree (AAS) in Human Services Technology. This concentration prepares students for employment with local, state and federal government social service agencies, including family and child assistance, youth services, aging and developmentally disabled programs in public and private settings.

    The AAS in Early Childhood Education includes course work in child growth and development, physical and nutritional needs, care and guidance, and communication skills. Graduates are prepared to plan and implement developmentally appropriate early childhood and child development programs. This fall, BCCC is offering the N.C. Early Childhood Administration credentialing courses, EDU 261 and 262, as mini-mester courses, allowing students to gain the credential in one semester.

    BCCC's Business and Industrial Technology division also has a variety of valuable programs. Certificate, Diploma and AAS programs in Construction Equipment Systems are designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to troubleshoot and repair equipment in the construction industry, preparing them to enter a career in one of society's most fundamental fields.

    For those who want to work in an office setting, AAS programs in Office Administration and Medical Office Administration prepare students for administrative support careers, equipping office professionals to respond to the demands of today's workplace.

    Registration for the Fall 2015 Semester at BCCC is open, and financial aid is still available. For more information about enrolling at BCCC or to schedule a placement test, contact the Admissions Office at 940-6237. For more information, visit BCCC's website at www.BeaufortCCC.edu.
