Sandhills Community College is a public community college in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Sandhills was chartered in 1963 and officially opened October 1, 1965. It was the first comprehensive community college authorized and established as the result of legislation passed by the 1963 General Assembly of North Carolina. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System. Sandhills Community College has about 4,000 students enrolled in college-credit curriculum courses and over 11,000 students who take continuing-education courses annually.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $8,596/year after aid, the cost is genuinely affordable for a college in Pinehurst, making it a reasonable choice for students looking to complete general education requirements or earn a career-focused credential without taking on heavy debt. However, the median earnings of $28,300 a decade after enrollment are low, so if you're planning to stop at an associate degree, be realistic about the financial ceiling — this school works best as a stepping stone toward a four-year transfer or a specific vocational program with a clear local job market.
