Career & College Promise

The Career and College Promise program allows eligible high school students to earn college credit, tuition free. Students who meet academic eligibility requirements are able to enroll in college classes through career technical education or college transfer pathways.  Courses in these dual credit programs are taught on the high school campuses, at Haywood Community College, and online.  Career and College Promise students have the opportunity to meet two graduation requirements, both in high school and college, simultaneously, allowing them to save time and money.

The College Transfer Pathways are designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to take courses toward a college transfer degree and/or a baccalaureate degree. It also gives students the opportunity to experience the rigor and independence of college life.

Upon completion of a College Transfer Pathway, the student may complete their college transfer degrees at Haywood Community College. Or, the student may apply for admission and receive credit for general education courses at all North Carolina public universities or a participating independent college or university.
