About This School
Davidson-Davie Community College is a public institution located in Thomasville, North Carolina with approximately 2,633 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,753 per year. The graduation rate is 44%, and the typical graduate earns $29,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
Davidson-Davie Community College (DDCC) is a public community college with campuses in Davidson County and Davie County, North Carolina. It awards certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees in more than 50 programs. As a member of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA), between the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Carolina (UNC) System, credits earned at DCCC transfer to the university system. Davidson-Davie Community College also provides basic skill training and General Educational Development (GED) programs to the public.
At just $7,258 per year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $9,500, this is one of the more affordable paths to a credential or transfer opportunity in North Carolina. The CAA membership is a genuine asset — credits transfer into the UNC system, making it a legitimate stepping stone to a four-year degree if that's the goal. The main concern worth flagging: median earnings of $29,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so students should be clear-eyed about whether they're using this as a transfer launchpad or entering a field with stronger local wage potential.
