What classes do Early College students take at SCC?
Early College students are working to complete the Associate of Arts – College Transfer degree, which ensures students’ transfer with junior status into most major universities. With assistance from their college advisor and guidance counselor, students should become familiar with the entrance and program requirements at the university they plan to transfer to in order to guide their course selections at SCC. It is possible for students to obtain both degrees in four-to-five years because of articulation agreements that exist between the county and community college. For example, successful completion of college courses POL-120 (American Government) and ECO-151 (Survey of Economics) not only equal 6 credit hours towards the Associate’s Degree, but also equal the Civics & Economics requirement of the high school diploma. Take a look at this Sample 5-Year Plan to get a better idea of how this works.
