- What is the difference between Curriculum courses and Continuing Education courses?
Curriculum courses are those that lead to Associate degrees, diplomas or certificates in one of the more than 30 Programs of Study offered by PCC. These classes are also transferable to other colleges and other curricula, and, are, in general, a semester in length. Courses taught in a mini-mester or other special session would be exceptions. Students earn credit based on the number of hours the class meets each week.
Continuing Education courses vary in length from one class period to multiple class periods, depending on the type of class. Continuing Education courses include those for personal interest, renewal of professional licenses, emergency services training, business development, industry training, and training on specific computer software. Continuing Education courses 10 hours or more in length that are appropriate to a person's field of study may be taken for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) of credit.
- How do I know whether a class is a Curriculum class or a Continuing Education class?
Curriculum and Continuing Education course schedules are listed in separate booklets that are mailed to all households in Person and Caswell counties prior to the beginning of semesters. The courses are also listed separately on the PCC website. Curriciulum courses include catalog numbers, such as BUS 110 (Introduction to Business), that correspond to the course's designation in the Common Course Library used by all community colleges in the North Carolina Community College System. These courses also are outlined in PCC's College Catalog in the Course Descriptions section. Continuing Education courses do not carry these number designations but are named by their content, such as Nurse Aid Level I.
- Where can I get a college catalog?
Catalogs are available on both campuses, in the lobby of the Administrative Building (Building A) and at the Information Desk (Building E) in Person County and in the lobby and Student Development office, just off the lobby, in Caswell County. The complete catalog is also included on this website under Publications.
