Open to the public, STCC's Open House is an ideal opportunity for anyone thinking about becoming a student to learn more about what the college has to offer, such as:
- Associate Degree & Certificate Programs
- Transfer Opportunities
- Financial Aid
- Athletics & Student Life
- Online learning
- Workforce training options
- High school equivalency exam (HiSET)
- English language learners (ELL) classes
Representatives from programs and departments will hold breakout sessions to speak with anyone who joins.
Dean of Admissions Louisa Davis-Freeman said the Open House at STCC is an excellent opportunity to find out about programs and speak with instructors and professors. The Open House at STCC in past semesters has been held on campus, but will be offered virtually to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Responding to safety concerns, STCC offers online classes with a mix of low-density on-campus labs for health, science and technical programs.
"I encourage all prospective students—whether you’re in high school or a returning adult—to log in to Zoom and learn more about STCC,” Davis-Freeman said. “We're affordable and accessible and our career programs will prepare you to join the workforce upon graduation. We also have many transfer programs and our graduates continue their educational journeys at colleges and universities throughout the United States."
