| Haywood Community College opened in August 1965 as Haywood Industrial Education Center with one curriculum program and 15 students. Today, HCC offers over 50 curriculum programs to over 2246 students. Aproximately 6,100 more students attend classes through its continuing education division, including adult basic education, GED preparation, occupational courses, and community service programs. HCC is located in Clyde, North Carolina, on an 83-acre campus, which features an arboretum and teaching forest. The natural beauty of the campus is a backdrop for modern facilities, including a Student Center with an 1,150-seat auditorium, state-of-the-art labs and shops, and a child care center. At easily accessible sites close to the main campus are the Human Resources Development Center, Continuing Education buildings, and the Regional High Technology Center–one of only two in the state and home to advanced technological programs and facilities. |
| Natural Resources programs use the college's scenic setting and the surrounding areas of Western North Carolina as a learning laboratory. The entire campus is a designated arboretum with an impressive plant collection that is used as a teaching lab. A greenhouse, woody plant nursery, and orchard provide students with an excellent opportunity for real-life work experience.
The college also has a 320-acre teaching forest off campus. Students use the forest as an outdoor lab for surveying, data collection, and forest ecology. Students in many of our Natural Resources programs have competed at national levels making impressive showings as they beat out many students from four-year institutions. Environmental education and volunteer opportunities with professional agencies are also available for students. The College offers associate degree programs in Fish and Wildlife Management Technology, Forest Management Technology, Geospatial Technology, Pulp & Paper Technology, and Horticulture Technology.
With a well-established international reputation the one-of-a-kind professional crafts at Haywood Community College has become an acknowledged world-class program. Under the guidance of specialist faculty of well-known and respected artisans in its four areas of study - clay, fiber, jewelry, and wood - its students develop techniques plus receive instruction in marketing and business skills. Taught in an environment that inspires and motivates the creative spirit, each area of study provides students the basis needed to become a recognized crafts designer and producer.
We are offering the following new programs for fall 2007: Medical Office Administration, Infant/Todder, Financial Services, and Office Systems Technology-Legal.
