Craven Community College is a public community college with its main campus in New Bern, North Carolina. It also has campuses in Havelock and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Established in 1965, it was originally an extension of Lenoir Community College—Craven IEC. It later added degree-awarding programs in several technical fields and became a technical institute. In the early 1970s, college-transfer degrees were added and the school became a community college. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System.
With an average net price of just $4,402 per year and median graduation debt of only $5,500, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential in the region — a genuine strength for cost-conscious students. Worth considering if you're pursuing a technical or trade-focused program, transferring to a four-year school, or serving at nearby Cherry Point, where the college has a dedicated campus. The one honest concern: median earnings of $32,900 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and where it leads before enrolling.
