I’ve completed an AA and an AAS through Southwestern, my graduation is next week. In my time with them i’ve also been inducted into Alpha Beta Gamma business honors society and the National Technical Honors Society. NONE of this would have been possible without the professors and support staff at SCC.

At Southwestern the professors are very involved and passionate about what they teach. Classes are typically small, some ranging from 6-8 students, others are large, ranging from 20-24 students. The LAC is a very helpful resource that SCC has to offer, and the tutoring service is great.

  7. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    I believe that in any school there are always people that shouldn't attend. These people would include people that aren't prepared to work for something. They are people that are only there to "do something", for lack of a better word. I am not sure about other programs but my Criminal Justice program is hard. This programs requires a lot of work and is nothing something that you can just breeze through.
