Campus SummaryTOP
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.
