COLLEGE CREDIT PROGRAM

You can now get college credit for courses at Pocahontas Woods, and even work on a degree in Fine Woodworking, through our new partnership with New River Community and Technical College. If you like, you can sign up for individual courses, or pursue one of three formal programs. Students can fulfill the general studies requirements either at the Greenbrier Valley campus of New River or through online classes.

Job Skills Set Certificate - a 20 credit hour program which is entirely made up of woodworking classes given at Pocahontas Woods. You don't get a degree, but you can put it on your resume when you apply for a job.

One Year Collegiate Certificate - a 30 credit hour program in which credits are all transferable to a degree program - in effect, the first year of college. It is made up of 18 credit hours of woodworking classes and 12 hours of general studies.

Associate of Applied Science Degree - A two year, 61 credit hour program leading to a two-year college degree. 40 credit hours of woodworking classes and 21 hours of general studies make up the program.
