    Job Ready

    SMC is uniquely qualified to help you enter the workforce quickly. 

    For example, our two-year Associate in Applied Science degree prepares you for immediate employment in a skilled trade or with specific occupational skills. One-year certificate programs develop the specialized skills you need for employment in a niche field. Our specialty certificates and credentials, which include clinical and/or internship experiences, can also be completed in a year. 

    Since these programs are accredited by national organizations and taught by industry professionals with master credentials, you’re learning industry standards from the very best.

    I just love how SMC is really dedicated to pushing me towards reaching my goals in life, towards my career that I want to do, which I want to do medical assisting.

    One of the advantages SMC has is that it's really an affordable track.

    So affordability was one of the biggest factors in coming here. Seeing the price ranges from the credit hours and the housing prices. It just blew my mind.

    When we're doing advising of students, we already have a pathway laid out that will get them that degree in two years and will get them into industry.

    When I came here. I literally met professors that if I need help, they're there. They give us office hours.

    We have advisory boards that are made up of individuals from industry. That same advisory board then becomes pathways for students.

    A lot of people after they graduate SMC become successful and they always come back to give back and I really like that.
