Build a Better Life.
Since 1961, COA has been helping adult learners gain the knowledge, skills and experience to launch or advance their career — or stay certified. COA offers:
-
Personalized Support:
It starts before you even attend COA. Admissions counselors are here to help you with the college application process. Advisors will help you through the admissions application and guide you through the FAFSA application. Once here, you can access free tutoring in everything from writing to math. And our academic advisors offer one-on-one coaching to help you determine a major and choose a career path. -
Seamless Transition:
COA prepares students for the rigors of four-year colleges and universities. Complete a certificate or two-year program at COA and seamlessly transition to any of the 16 universities in the University of North Carolina System. Approximately 100 COA students transfer to a UNC System university each year. On average, these transfer students earn a higher grade-point average (GPA) at universities than the students who started out there. -
Opportunities for Everyone:
COA offers numerous degree, diploma and certificate programs to meet the needs of each student as well as the needs of the employers in our service area. COA is proud to be recognized as a Military Friendly School, a Military Spouse Friendly School for 2022-2023, and a Military Friendly Schools Gold Designation for 2023-2024.
