Since its beginning in the 1960's, JSCC has dedicated itself to serving the specific needs of each of our students. Over the years, the role of community colleges has evolved from preparing students to compete in a local geographic market, to preparing students to compete in a global market. It is the responsibility of the College to provide the quality education necessary for you, our students, to compete in that global market. The information in this catalog can serve as a prism through which you may catch a glimpse into the future and the possibilities that it holds for you. From Account- ing to Viticulture, whether you are seeking a transfer degree to a four-year college, a two-year degree, a diploma or certificate, JSCC continues to provide a quality education for our students at an affordable rate. The College has developed several programs and initiatives to better serve you. A high school education is no longer enough to be competitive. Yesterday's high school is today's college. Recognizing that fact, JSCC is the parent location for the Duplin County Early College High School, where students may achieve a high school and college diploma in 5 years. An area of statewide focus in community colleges is the revitalization of career and technical education in science, technology, engineering and math-related industries. JSCC and Duplin County Public Schools have launched the Duplin Career Academy for high school students with career paths in Agribusiness, and Business and Information Technology. Reaching beyond geographic boundaries, the College continues to develop and expand its Distance Learning program providing online courses, interactive video conferencing and a combination of instructional methods (hybrid). Currently, there are nine curriculum programs that have a percentage of their course work online. Receiving an education at JSCC is not just the achievement of a goal, it is the beginning of your future. We welcome you to visit our campus any time and look forward to being a part of your exciting educational journey. Lawrence L. Rouse, Ed.D.
