Since 1963, Carteret Community College has helped students and the community prepare for the changing demands of the workplace. Starting out in World War II-era Quonset huts as an Institutional Education Center, the College has grown and changed over the years. Through its transformation as a technical college and now a comprehensive community college, Carteret CC has grown and changed to meet the needs of the community.
The College’s offerings include
-
- Associate degrees and certificates in career/technical fields and college transfer.
- Workforce & Continuing Education noncredit classes designed for job entry, career advancement, and personal enrichment.
- College & Career Readiness (Adult Education) noncredit classes to help individuals address any academic or language barriers to higher education.
