About This School

Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) is a public community college with campuses in Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties. Established in 1961, CCCC is part of the North Carolina Community College System and offers a diverse range of academic and career and technical programs to meet the educational needs of its communities.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $616/year net price after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, making it a genuinely strong choice for students watching their budget. However, median earnings of $27,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so if you're pursuing a program with higher earning potential, make sure the specific degree you want actually leads there — not just the school overall. Worth considering as a low-risk, low-cost starting point, especially for local students, career-focused programs, or those planning to transfer to a four-year school.
