A Quality Education<br />
The quality and content of courses at <strong>SCCC</strong> are<br />
exceptional and <strong>SCCC</strong> graduates are prepared to transfer<br />
to a four-year college. The faculty is committed to teaching<br />
and to student success.<br />
Substantial Savings<br />
By starting at <strong>SCCC</strong> and completing your associate degree,<br />
you will be able to enjoy a substantial savings off the<br />
overall cost of your bachelor’s degree.<br />
Full-time students will pay approximately $5,000 in tuition<br />
and fees per year at <strong>SCCC</strong>. That same credit load, plus<br />
room and board, would cost nearly $25,000 at Rutgers<br />
University or almost $50,000 per year at a NJ private<br />
university such as Seton Hall.<br />
{<br />
Students can expect to save from<br />
$38,000 to $90,000 on the total cost<br />
of a bachelor’s degree by spending<br />
their first two years at <strong>SCCC</strong>.<br />
{<br />
Even if you opted to commute to a four-year institution,<br />
with today’s gas prices, your savings will be significant by<br />
staying local and attending <strong>SCCC</strong>. (See chart below)<br />
Scholarship Opportunities<br />
<strong>SCCC</strong> students received over $100,000 in scholarship<br />
money from the <strong>SCCC</strong> Foundation for coursework during<br />
the 2012-13 academic year. Starting here also helps you<br />
build your college transcript and your academic achievements,<br />
which can lead to scholarship opportunities at<br />
<strong>SCCC</strong>, and also when you transfer to a four-year college.<br />
New Jersey Transfer Agreement<br />
The New Jersey Transfer Agreement guarantees that<br />
students can transfer credits from a completed associate<br />
degree to a bachelor’s degree at any of New Jersey’s public<br />
four-year colleges and universities. Receiving your<br />
associate degree BEFORE you transfer will also improve<br />
the likelihood that you will be accepted to an out-of-state<br />
college or university. <strong>SCCC</strong> graduates have transferred<br />
to hundreds of private colleges throughout the country<br />
including top-tier and Ivy League universities.<br />
