Sampson Community College
Mission
Sampson Community College, founded as an extension unit of the Goldsboro Industrial Education Center, was chartered as an independent member institution of the North Carolina Community College System in 1967. The College operates as a comprehensive two-year public community college serving adult students of Sampson and surrounding counties. Consistent with the historical traditions of North Carolina's community colleges, the College affirms its belief in the incomparable worth of all students and its commitment to open-door student admissions. Central to this commitment, the College recruits and retains outstanding faculty members who support this mission and are dedicated to the art of teaching and advising students from all backgrounds and at all levels of educational preparation.
The College's educational programs are comprehensive, ranging from instruction in basic skills through collegiate studies at the sophomore level. A principal focus of the College's curricular programs is to provide occupational education at the certificate, diploma, and degree levels in programs of study that lead to meaningful employment for students in southeastern and central North Carolina. The College also provides opportunities for students to complete general collegiate studies in the arts and sciences leading to associate degrees that qualify them for admission and success in senior institutions. The College endeavors to provide access to educational programs and services at times, places, and costs that meet the needs of adult students. Faculty are encouraged to utilize available technologies to improve classroom teaching and learning and to facilitate distance learning opportunities across all programs.
As part of its commitment to lifelong learning, the College offers continuing education to adult students including opportunities to acquire basic skills, to complete the GED, and to participate in non-credit academic and personal enrichment classes. The College recognizes its obligation to work cooperatively with local business and industry, public schools, professional and trade associations, and community organizations to develop and deliver a comprehensive educational program that meets the needs of these constituents. The College supports local and regional economic development efforts and provides industries with access to specialized state-sponsored training and financial incentive programs.
In recognition of the increasing globalization of all economic activity, the College seeks to develop student multi-cultural awareness through classroom instruction and enrichment programs available to the entire campus community. The College acknowledges its responsibility to continually evaluate both the quality and relevance of all educational programs.
In support of its educational mission and undergirding philosophy, the College recruits and retains qualified individuals for admission and employment without regard to their race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, political belief, or affiliation consistent with state and federal law.
