- The North Carolina Community College System is made up of 58 campuses, 28 mini-campuses and 74 off-campus sites serving all 100 counties within the state. This translates to classes being held only a 30-minute drive away from any given student, outside of “distance learning.” “ There are more than 1,000 curriculum programs under more than 250 curriculum titles offered across the state. Programs are offered at the certificate, diploma and associate degree levels. New programs are established as a response to local and regional labor market needs and student demand.” http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/News_Releases/GetTheFacts.htm
- Currently, the NCCCS enrolls about 800,000 students in comparison to the University System of North Carolina which, as of Fall 2009, serves 176,133 undergraduate students and 46,189 graduate students. There are also over 60 of proprietary business/technical/trade/correspondence private colleges in North Carolina, including ECPI College of Technology, ITT Technical Institute, Universal Technical Institute (which includes NASCAR Tech), Miller-Mote Technical College and The Art Institutes of Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte. The State Board of Community Colleges is in charge of licensing these programs via Article 8 of the North Carolina General Statutes (115D).

- The underlying reason to develop the Community College system was to support economic growth and prosperity through education. Each institution within the system offers certificate, diploma and associate degree programs. There are also very clearly defined programs for college transfer, as well as job training, literacy and continuing education opportunities.

- In April 2009, the report based on the Study on the Admission of Undocumented Students was published.
