There are so many reasons why Suffolk County Community College is a great place to pursue your education. A community college experience stands as an excellent option for students seeking affordable, quality higher education in small class settings led by faculty with credentials from many of the country's most acclaimed colleges and universities. Here at SCCC you will have a rewarding collegiate experience, find a true sense of community and discover opportunities to grow both academically and personally.
We offer over 65 degree programs, from liberal arts and business to graphic arts, veterinary science, engineering and technology, health and human services, nursing, education, computer technology and communications, to name only a few. Each member of our distinguished faculty shares a very important trait - a dedication to excellence in teaching. Since class sizes are small, our professors are able to give focused attention to helping their students succeed.
Traditionally many of our graduates continue on to four-year institutions. We have transfer and dual admissions agreements with many prestigious four-year schools located locally and around the country. This means you can earn your associate's degree from Suffolk then transfer with full credit to a highly rated four-year college or university to pursue your bachelor's degree. By spending the first two years of your higher education experience here at Suffolk, you'll receive a quality education while saving thousands of dollars. There is no doubt SCCC provides a practical choice for financially savvy students and their families.
As a comprehensive community college, we see our role as crucial to supporting and enhancing the quality of life here on Long Island. Education is critical for building strong families, vibrant communities and skilled workers. Over a lifetime, graduates with two-year degrees have average earnings of $250,000 more than people without degrees. And students who take non-credit and workforce training courses produce more, earn more, save more and spend more over their lifetimes.
Whether you are starting your education, seeking to advance in your current job, or have made the decision to transition into another career, SCCC is your resource for the very best programs, instruction and student support services. Our campus locations in Selden, Riverhead and Brentwood, along with flexible scheduling, will allow you to attend when it's convenient for you - days, evenings, or even weekends.
Our commitment to excellence translates into a broad range of goals for the College. From enhancing the probability of success for students who need extra support, to maintaining an academically challenging environment for the 400 students currently enrolled in our Honors Program, to working closely with area businesses to meet their current and projected work force demands, our operating goal is to ensure we are meeting the full spectrum of student needs.
All of this adds up to a value-added proposition worth consideration by every student.
