The importance of starting well

It has long been the case that community colleges have been the preferred starting place for students going on to college.  This article points out just how prevailing a choice this is for students in recent years.

More students start at community college Sj

It is a little known fact that students transferring from SCC to four-year institutions in Missouri are the most successful transfer students at these institutions as measured by academic performance and persistence to graduation.

We should be proud of the start these students receive here at SCC.  Even as we strive to encourage more of our students to complete the degree at SCC, our outcomes speak for themselves in the four-year success of those who go on.

This is a testament to the good work of our faculty, advisors, learning support professionals, and many others.  Thank you for your good work with these and all students.
