REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI have taken quite a few classes at SCC and I feel as though I have retained a large portion of what I have studied. I have taken anything from Psychology to English to Human Sexuality; the wide range of classes offered really makes SCC a great learning environment. There are quite a few good teachers, as well. The low teacher to student ratio really helps with the learning process.
Lisa from Anaheim, CA
My major was Business and I enjoyed those classes immensely. I only wish I could have had a different Accounting teacher - I found her teaching style dull and hard to pay attention to.
