Craven Community College (CCC) began offering classes in eastern Craven County for the city of Havelock as well as Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point Marines, their dependents, as well as for the civilian employees of MCAS and the Naval Air Rework Facility (now Fleet Readiness Center-East) since 1965.  In 1965-1966, our records indicate that seven continuing education classes were offered in the Havelock-Cherry Point servicing area.  CCC initially established storefront operations in Havelock in 1969.  In December 1973, an office was opened at the Joint Education Center of MCAS Cherry Point.  Havelock and MCAS students (Marines, dependent, civilian employees) were able to take classes on the new campus in New Bern, as well as, at public school facilitates in Havelock (Havelock High School).  In 1984, CCC leased property at East Plaza Professional Center in Havelock.  The store front operation allowed the college to expand its offerings in electronics, computers, and cosmetology as well as for college transfer.  In 1993, CCC moved the original Cherry Point office to the new Jerry W. Marvel Training and Education Center (EDTR) which is also located aboard MCAS Cherry Point.

In January 2004, CCC opened its 24-acre Havelock campus facility with three buildings:  the Havelock Public Library, the Lewis R. Redd Building (curriculum/continuing education classrooms/laboratories), and the Institute of Aeronautical Technology (IAT) building.  The Havelock campus provides general educational requirements for most degrees offered through CCC, as well as offering the Aviation Systems Technology program in which students, upon completion, should be able to successfully pass both the written as well as practical examinations for their Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Power plant licensure.  Also of special interest for the Havelock-Cherry Point Campus is the Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) emphasis with the unique partnership CCC has with North Carolina State University (NCSU) where students are able to earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering Systems at the Havelock campus.
