Serving Students in Newberry


Located on Wilson Road in the old National Guard Armory, the recently remodeled Newberry County Center now encompasses 30,340 square feet, consisting of classrooms, computer and biology labs, as well as office space - all to serve the citizens of the county. A 150 seat auditorium, which is available to business, industry and the public sector in the county, completes the center.

First opened in 1996, the center has grown dramatically and now counts over 500 credit students in attendance. Offering both credit courses and non-credit continuing education classes, the Center provides students with access to most student services including financial aid, placement testing, career counseling, registration and library services. Students may also pay fees and buy books at the Center.
