About

Community colleges are many things to many people. They are places to start a college career for those who just aren’t ready or able to “go away to college.”  They are places to explore new paths by taking a class in a new field.  They are places to build skills, to find new interests, to retrain for a new job, to keep your mind active and age gracefully, and to pursue a certification or Associate’s Degree for that promotion.  With instructors whose primary focus is to help you learn and with technology to provide a hands-on experience, a community college education gives you top-quality instruction at an affordable price.

  • Community college classes generally cost less than $100 per credit, compared to at least $200 for state universities and up to over $1,000 at some private universities.
  • Local governance of a community college keeps money in the local economy
  • Community colleges provide employers and employees a place to update or upgrade skills affordably and efficiently
  • Open enrollment, low tuition, and classes to get you started at your level allow anyone with a high school diploma or equivalency to attend college.
  • Student support services help you pursue success in your classes
  • Community college instructors are focused on teaching you and not on research or other pursuits
  • Community colleges are innovators in putting industrial and business technology in the classroom to make your education relevant and give your career a head start
  • Flexible scheduling allows you to work, raise a family, and attend class.
  • Community Colleges create local jobs
  • Community Colleges are uniquely American and give our workforce a leg up in the world economy

Give yourself, your family, and your neighbors a chance to experience these benefits.  Support a Susquehanna Valley Community College today.
