SC4 expands online course offerings to make college more accessible

In an effort to make an associate degree more accessible to everyone, St. Clair County Community College (SC4) will be expanding its online course offerings this fall.

The community college will offer several associate degrees entirely online for the first time including programs in accounting, business, computer information systems, computer programming, management, and marketing.

There are also classes already offered online that will count toward the Michigan Transfer Agreement, including courses in English, math, science, humanities, and social sciences.

SC4 expands transfer agreements with Oakland University

As part of an ongoing effort to provide an efficient and cost-effective transfer process, Oakland University has signed an additional articulation agreement with St. Clair County Community College.

The new agreement helps transition qualified students from SC4 to Oakland University in pursuit of a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration – all majors. It benefits students by increasing the number of transfer credits they can apply toward their degree, and also ensures seamless movement of students between schools by offering course equivalencies that transfer to OU.

“We are thrilled to provide students with additional opportunities to maximize their success through this expanded partnership with Oakland University,” said SC4 Dean of Occupational Studies Tamara Kenny. “SC4 business students will be able to save money and complete more credits prior to transferring seamlessly to OU.”

SC4 Foundation begins offering year-round scholarships

SC4 students can now apply for scholarships through the SC4 Foundation at any point during the year. As funds are available, open scholarships will be posted for students to review opportunities available to them.

“We recognize that students begin at SC4 during all semesters, not just in the Fall of each year,” said Harold Burns, SC4 Foundation board chair. “A year round scholarship application process is an excellent opportunity to make scholarships as reachable as possible for all students.”
