The Davidson Campus is centrally located between Lexington and Thomasville, Davidson County, North Carolina and first opened in 1958. The Davie Campus, located in Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina, opened in 1994.
As a two-year college serving a growing county and regional population, DCCC awards certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees in more than 50 programs. Offering vocational and college transfer programs allow students to train in a career specific skill base or prepare for further education.

DCCC also provides basic skill training and General Education Development (GED) programs to the public.
DCCC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and was originally accredited in 1968. DCCC's last reaffirmation was in 2002 with its next reaffirmation scheduled for 2013.
Davidson County Community College should not be confused with Davidson College, a small, private four-year liberal arts college in Davidson, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Originally chartered in 1958 as an Industrial Education Center DCCC provided education and skills to assist the community in transitioning from an agriculturally based to a manufacturing-based economy. In 1963, enrollment consisted of 51 students in adult education and service programs with 125 students enrolled in vocational and technical courses.
Officially chartered as Davidson County Community College in 1965, the college began offering a larger variety of degrees and certificates including Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS).
