Sandhills Community College

Chartered in 1963, Sandhills Community College officially opened October 1, 1965, and was the first comprehensive (i.e., offering a college transfer degree) community college in North Carolina. Thanks to a generous donation by Mary Luman Meyer, Sandhills main campus consists of 240 acres located off of Airport Road and is comprised of 8 instructional buildings, a student center, visitors center for the gardens, maintenance facility, auditorium, and library.
