NORTH CAROLINA- In a special three part series, Time Warner Cable Litsa Pappas investigates shockingly low graduation rates across the state to find out whether the community college system needs a change.
Kayla Moore studies psychology at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte. She says it'll be difficult to graduate.
"You know working 40 hours a week, being fully employed full time and going to school full time. It's kind of hard to balance the two. I may have to miss some classes."
Moore isn't alone. She says many other students at CPCC have jobs and even families to support while taking classes.
Most students don't make it and get a degree. According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 11 percent of CPCC students graduate on time.
CPCC did add a broadcasting program last fall, which is in direct competition to the Carolina School of Broadcasting.
