Who are we?

Since its founding, tens of thousands of students have benefited from the individual, personalized attention the college provides to its students.

The college began as an industrial education center in 1962. Since then PCC has grown to become a fully accredited two year community college with programs in varied disciplines in Academic programs, Continuing Education programs, and Cultural Enrichment programs.

A contract program with East Carolina University enables students in appropriate programs to transfer on for a four-year education.
