Academics

Seward County Community College and Area Technical School maintains a variety of programs that allow students to pursue academic transfer or career training opportunities. Academic transfer programs assist students in pursuing a bachelor's degree by first completing a curriculum that mirrors the freshman and sophomore years of a four year education, followed by transfer to a college or university to complete the final two years. Career training programs provide education and skill development in high demand fields for industries with the intention of preparing students for a long term career in that field. Programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a degree or certificate upon completion.

  • SCCC is a cool school you can really connect with your teachers, who are pretty helpful. I'm in the pre-med program, and its actually designed to be fairly challenging to get you ready for the next step.

    I would totally recommend SCCC to all and for sure for pre-med students...
