Effective January 1, 2012, the Career and College Promise program will replace all existing concurrent enrollment programs for high school students.

Career and College Promise provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills.  North Carolina community colleges may offer the following Career and College Promise pathways aligned with the K-12 curriculum and career and college ready standards adopted by the State Board of Education:

  1. a Core 44 College Transfer Pathway leading to a minimum of 30 hours of college transfer credit
  2. a Career and Technical Education Pathway leading to a certificate, diploma or degree
  3. a Cooperative Innovative High School Pathway (the Current Cato Middle College)

Enrollment for Career and Promise students at CPCC will begin on November 21. For more information visit: https://www.cpcc.edu/hsprograms/career-college-promise.
