Haywood Community College is a public community college in Clyde, North Carolina. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System. Established in 1965, the college offers associate degree programs and online courses in programs such as forestry, fish and wildlife management, and professional crafts. The college's 120-acre (49 ha) campus includes an arboretum, a mill pond, and a working gristmill constructed by students.
Worth considering if you want an affordable, hands-on education in niche fields like forestry, wildlife management, or professional crafts — at just $3,834/year after aid, the cost is genuinely hard to beat. That said, the median earnings of $28,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone to a four-year program or a specific trade career rather than a path to high wages on its own. The small campus in Clyde, NC has real character — an arboretum, a mill pond, and a student-built gristmill — but students seeking a wide range of programs or a larger college experience should look elsewhere.
