  • Greater access to helpful professors, in and outside the classroom.

  • A strong start that finds many SC4 transfer students better prepared than their counterparts who began studies at a four-year school.

  • An open admissions policy that allows students the chance to turn around their GPA if necessary.

  • The area’s best tuition value that can save families thousands of dollars.

  • Local scholarships for a wide variety of student backgrounds and interests.

  • Transfer scholarships based on community college grades and involvement.

  • The chance to enjoy college with old friends, new friends and students from a diversity of age and life experience.
