Exploring South Seattle Community College

This is where many of our students end up going, as far as college.

When they get there, there are two paths you can take.

1) Some people desire Professional and Technical Education. These people are looking for jobs right away, or looking to get trained, or retrained, in something specific.

2) Some people go for Academic and Transfer Degrees. This path is generally for people looking for jobs that need a lot of training, or looking long term, or not sure what they want to do yet. Most of these people want to eventually "transfer" to a 4-year college.
