YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The cost of attending SCC is approximately one-third the cost of attending
regional four-year universities, yet SCC students who transfer to four-year
institutions do as well or better than students who began at four-year
institutions. Private sources of funding help to keep postsecondary education
accessible and affordable.
SCC students who do not plan to transfer to four-year institutions benefit from
"real-world" programs that result in "real-world" jobs. Students can earn an
associate degree, a diploma, a certificate, or gain more job training in
numerous fields.
Many local businesses and industries rely on SCC for employee training
and re-training.
SCC works with committees composed of local business and professional people to design courses and programs relevant to the needs
of our region.
SCC provides individuals with greater marketable skills, making them more valuable to employers and the economic district.
SCC provides employers with a trained workforce, increasing productivity.
SCC provides local education and training programs, saving employers costs.
SCC increases literacy, access, and diversity of opportunity in the region's workplace.
