Welcome to the 2026–2027 academic year at Craven Community College!
We are honored that you have chosen Craven as the place to pursue your goals, and we are excited to support you on this important journey.
This is a time of growth and innovation at our College. In recent years, we have introduced new academic programs, expanded workforce training opportunities, and strengthened partnerships that connect our students directly with local and regional employers. Our campuses in New Bern, Havelock, and the Volt Center continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our students and community.
No matter your path—whether you are preparing to transfer to a four-year university, earning credentials to enter a new career, advancing in your current field, or taking courses for personal enrichment—you will find the resources and encouragement you need to succeed at Craven. Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to guide you, and our support services, such as advising, tutoring, scholarships, and career development, are designed to help you at every step.
This Academic Catalog is your guide to the opportunities available to you. Inside, you will find detailed information about our programs, courses, student resources, and academic policies. We encourage you to use it often and to connect with our advisors and instructors as you map out your academic path.
At Craven Community College, your success is our mission. We are proud to welcome you into our community of learners and look forward to celebrating the milestones and achievements you will reach in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ray Staats
