General Information for High School Students:

The Craven EDGE

Overview

Craven Community College and the Craven County Schools have teamed up to give local high school students The Craven EDGE!

The EDGE, which stands for "Earn a Degree, Graduate Early," is a program that enables high school students to take college-level courses through Craven Community College without paying tuition.

By enrolling in college courses while still in high school, students can get ahead in their studies, which can save them time and money.

Get ahead!

The Craven EDGE is an all-encompassing term for the wide variety of college-level offerings available for local high school students at Craven Community College. Previous names for these courses and programs included Concurrent Enrollment, Dual Enrollment, Huskins, Step Ahead and other terms.
The Craven EDGE is a great way for motivated high school students to get the courses they'll need for a college degree and to get a glimpse of the level of course work that's expected of them in college.
Course offerings can vary semester-to-semester, based on student demand.
High schoolers come to Craven's New Bern and Havelock campuses to take the Craven EDGE courses, although some are offered at the high schools or online. (In the past, courses also have been ordered at West Craven High School near Vanceboro.)
Students must pay for their textbooks and arrange for their transportation.
