North Carolina State University – Havelock
The NC State / Craven Community College (CCC) partnership allows students to complete the necessary transfer courses and then apply to complete their 4-year engineer degree in NC State’s Mechanical Engineering Systems BSE program (MES) located at Craven Community College. Through this program, a student can graduate with their engineering degree from NC State without ever leaving Craven Community College and be qualified to apply for any job seeking mechanical engineering applicants. The NC State MES program gives students a solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles including structural mechanics, materials, fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibrations, controls, thermal sciences, mechanical design, and thermal design. They also receive training in the formal systems engineering approach to the design and realization of integrated systems. The unique combination of systems engineering and mechanical engineering skills allows MES students to be well prepared to meet the technical and non-technical challenges of today’s engineering workplace. The MES program was evaluated under the criteria for Mechanical Engineering Programs and is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

North Carolina Wesleyan College
North Carolina Wesleyan College (NCWC) formed a partnership with Craven Community College in the spring of 2015 that allows NCWC to offer bachelor degree programs on the campus of Craven Community College. Classes started being offered in fall 2015 with 10 students enrolled. This is the first partnership of its kind for Craven Community College where bachelorette level classes are being offered on their campus and with an Admissions and Advising Coordinator from North Carolina Wesleyan College holding office hours five days a week in the BIT building. We currently offer courses for students to earn their bachelor’s degree in business administration or organizational administration. Students can also major in Accounting, Criminal Justice, and Marketing but the major coursework for these classes are offered online only. Students have the option to take accelerated, evening seated classes one-day-a-week from 6pm-10pm, or accelerated, 8-week online classes to complete their degree. The programs offered by NCWC provide seamless transfer for students who attain an AA, AS, and many AAS degrees. The bachelor programs offered by Wesleyan also have a tuition rate comparable to the direct cost of attending a state university with financial aid packages available. Students can earn a private education at a very affordable rate.
