Greetings from the SCC President |
|
 Welcome Visitors,
Shawnee Community College is your community college! Whether
you are a new high school graduate or beginning a degree later in life we
can help you meet your goals.
We offer one of the most affordable tuition
rates in Illinois and the Midwest. Our classes are convenient - offered during
the day or evening - and often in your hometown. We were one of the first
colleges to offer classes on the Internet. You can take over 50 courses from
the comfort of home. But most importantly, our staff and faculty care about
your success. Our students rave about the personal attention our instructors
and support staff gives to make college a positive experience.
The great thing about a community college is the flexibility it allows
for students. You can take a single class, complete a certificate, finish
an Associates Degree or enroll in a Bachelors degree program.
My challenge
to you is to start reaching for your dreams now. We are ready to
help you succeed. Call or come in to the main campus
near Ullin or any of our extension centers located in Anna, Cairo, East St. Louis or Metropolis, Illinois. You can work on building your
future at a pace you are comfortable with by taking one course or starting
a degree program.
Many of our courses
are fully transferable when you are ready to move on to a four-year college
or university. Our educational alliance with Franklin University enables you to
earn bachelor's degree without transferring to a new college. The College’s
varied occupational programs can
qualify you for immediate employment.
We also offer adult
education classes to provide courses to upgrade reading, writing and
mathematical skills, achieve a GED certificate or pursue a personal interest,
such as starting up a small business. In fact the Small
Business Development Center works with new and existing businesses
to develop business plans, provide training and aid in seeking financial
support.
Start fulfilling your dreams today with a quality education close
to home! All of us at Shawnee Community College
are here to help you prepare for a rapidly changing but exciting future.
We look forward to seeing you.
Dr. Larry Peterson,
President of Shawnee Community College
