Beaufort County Community College

Beaufort County Community College (BCCC) stands as a cornerstone of educational opportunity, offering a dynamic environment for students seeking both vocational skills and pathways to higher education. Since its inception, BCCC has been dedicated to empowering its community, providing accessible and high-quality programs designed to meet diverse student aspirations and regional workforce needs.

BCCC's journey began in December 1967, when it was officially chartered as Beaufort County Technical Institute. This initial focus on vocational and technical training quickly evolved, demonstrating a commitment to broader educational needs. Just a year later, in 1968, the Institute established a groundbreaking college parallel program in conjunction with East Carolina University, providing students with a seamless transition to a four-year degree. This innovative partnership underscored BCCC's forward-thinking approach to education.

The institution's growth and impact were formally recognized in 1979, when it proudly achieved community college status. Today, under the leadership of President David Loope, BCCC continues to thrive, offering a comprehensive suite of programs. Students can choose from robust vocational and technical courses that lead directly to in-demand careers, or pursue college transfer programs that prepare them for success at a university. BCCC is more than just a college; it’s a launching pad for future success, fostering a supportive student experience that prioritizes individual growth and community prosperity.
