Description

An abundance of academics and degree programs and pathways are what distinguish Seattle Central Community College in Seattle, Washington.

The school offers standard associate degrees and certificates in such fields as Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Culinary Arts, Graphic Design and General Studies. However, its two-year programs expand far beyond that, offering highly specialized fields of study such as Apparel Design, Commercial Photography, Film, Publishing Arts, Opticianry, Marine Engineering and Elementary Education.

Not only that, but Seattle Central goes even a step further, recently implementing a bachelor’s degree program in Behavioral Sciences. This degree prepares students for a variety of careers in such fields Counseling, Social Work, Education and Human Services.

Seattle’s learning formats and options are equally diverse and numerous. Students may, for example, register for the service-learning program, which gives them the chance to do an internship or field work in combination with classroom study.

Other offerings include online courses, flexible day and evening schedules, high school programs, continuing education classes, and study abroad opportunities.

Student life also abounds with opportunities and options including state-of-the art recreation and fitness facilities, student clubs and other activities.

Student services provide support with academics and career planning as well as for disabled and international students. Online services are also available.

Seattle Central has an open admissions policy which means that students need only fill out an application online before registering.

Financial aid offerings such as grants and scholarships help eligible students with tuition and other costs.
