It has a Henderson County campus (its main campus) in Flat Rock, North Carolina, and a Transylvania County campus in Brevard, North Carolina. Its current president is Molly A. Parkhill, Ed.D. According to its college catalog and student handbook, the college was established in May 1969 as Henderson County Technical Institute.
