STEM at STCC
As the only technical community college in Massachusetts, STCC partners with local and national technology leaders to ensure that our programs continue to deliver the skills that future employers demand. Strong relationships and transfer agreements with local colleges and universities help ensure that STCC STEM graduates who wish to pursue their education beyond an Associate degree have well-defined and affordable options for doing so.
School of Science, Technologies, Engineering, and Mathematics
The School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) offers a diverse range of programs for students who seek an education in areas such as the physical and natural sciences, engineering, advanced manufacturing, digital media and photography, computer science, cybersecurity, or mathematics.
Many of our students find secure, well-paying jobs immediately upon graduation while others choose to continue their interest in STEM disciplines at four-year colleges and universities. Our labs are state-of-the-art as STCC is the only technical community college in Massachusetts.
