James Sprunt Community College’s Collaborative Programs connect students with universities and peer community colleges through formal partnerships that create clear, affordable pathways to advanced credentials. In these programs, you’ll complete general education and foundational coursework at JSCC before transitioning smoothly to a partner school for major-specific classes or higher-level degrees.
Options include shared-seat and transfer pathways such as 911 Communication & Operations with Richmond Community College, Physical Therapist Assistant preparation (general education at JSCC with clinical coursework at an affiliating college), and university pipelines like ECU RIBN/aRIBN (concurrent ADN+BSN), UNCW Pathways to Excellence, NC State’s C3, ECU Pirate Promise, and teacher-education partnerships with the University of Mount Olive. These partnerships give you multiple ways to stay local, save on tuition, and continue advancing toward your degree without missing a beat.
