St. Clair County Community College provides a solid educational foundation to help students pursue career goals in any field.

There are many ways to earn college credit at SC4. Students may choose to obtain transfer credit toward a four-year degree, earn an associate degree in a career-related area, or obtain a certificate that can be applied toward a degree program while preparing for employment.

Whatever students choose to study, they are urged to plan their program with an SC4 advisor. Programs of study fall into two major categories - transfer and career.
