CAMPUS SUMMARY |
| Randolph Community College
began operation in 1962 as a joint city-county
industrial education center. The North Carolina
legislature in 1963 established a separate system of
community colleges and the college became part of that
system. Situated near the geographic center of North
Carolina, Randolph Community College lies adjacent to
the ancient mountains in the area known as the Uwharries.
The college is located in Asheboro at the McDowell Road
exit off Highway 220 (Future I -73/I-74), just south of
the interchange with Highways 64 and 49. The college is
26 miles south of Greensboro, North Carolina, and
Interstate Highways 40 and 85, making it accessible from
all parts of the state. A second campus, located at 110
Park Drive in Archdale, offers a limited number of
credit classes. Asheboro, with a population of 19,544,
is the home of the North Carolina Zoological Park
located off U.S. 64, five miles southeast of Asheboro.
Countywide, the college draws from a population base of
just over 126,000. |
