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.

*indicates course with pre-requisite

The Career and College Promise ADN Pathway is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to begin their educational studies toward the Associate in Nursing degree and a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing. The Pathway is based on Block 1 of the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North Carolina's Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs and the North Carolina Community College Associate Degree Nursing Programs which was approved by the State Board of Community Colleges and the UNC Board or Governors in February 2015.

A student who completes an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing, which includes the courses listed below, with a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grade of C or better and completes the courses in Blocks 2-3 of the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North Carolina's Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs and the North Carolina Community College Associate Degree nursing Programs with a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grad of C or better will have fulfilled the UNC institutions lower-division general education requirements as well as nursing program sentry requirements. However, because nursing program admissions are competitive, no student is guaranteed admission to the program of their choice.

High school students in the CCP Associate Degree Nursing Pathway must complete the entire pathway before taking additional courses in the Associate in General Education Nursing (A1030N) program.

General Education: (23 semester hours). These courses are contained in Block 1 of the Five Block Degree Plan located within the RN to BSN Articulation Agreement.
