Why SCC?

Out of more than 1,100 community colleges in the nation, Southwestern received the top spot in BestColleges.com's listing of "The Best Community College & Trade Schools of 2020."

It was the fourth time in 13 years that SCC had made a nationwide Top 10 list.

Southwestern is the nation's only community college to have a scientific partnership with NASA, and our Public Safety Training Center was the first in the U.S. to offer Park Ranger Law Enforcement Academy training for the National Park Service.
