About This School

James Sprunt Community College is a public community college in Kenansville, North Carolina. Founded in 1860 as James Sprunt Technical Institute, the college is named for James Menzies Sprunt (1818–1884), a Scottish immigrant who became a teacher, Presbyterian minister, and the longtime pastor of Grove Presbyterian Church in Kenansville. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System, and primarily serves Duplin County, North Carolina

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable starting point — at just $3,852/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,125 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $28,100 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a specific vocational credential rather than a standalone career launcher. If you're from Duplin County and want to keep costs down while building foundational credits, this is a practical, low-stakes option.
