About This School

Pitt Community College (PCC) is a public community college in Winterville, North Carolina in Pitt County. The college is part of the North Carolina Community College System. It has an enrollment of over 7,000 undergraduate students with a total of 10,322 students enrolled in the Curriculum Program. Pitt Community College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a credential — at just $7,150 per year after aid and a median debt of $8,250 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low compared to most options. That said, the median earnings of $30,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense if you're targeting a specific local career, transferring to a four-year school, or keeping costs down while you figure out your direction. Go in with a clear plan — the value is real, but the payoff depends heavily on what you study and where you go from here.
