The Division of Continuing Education offers a full array of SCCC credit courses for both full- and part-time students. Our evening, weekend, and summer classes accommodate even the most demanding of student schedules. Our mission is to offer students with job, home, and other responsibilities the flexibility to pursue their educational goals. Three-credit courses usually meet one evening per week (Monday through Thursday), 6:00-8:45 PM or Saturday morning, 9-11:45 AM. Laboratory courses are taught two evenings per week (lecture one night and lab another), and 4-credit courses generally meet two evenings per week, 6:00-7:50 PM. |

Approximately one-third of Continuing Education credit courses are taught by full-time SCCC instructional faculty. These professionals bring to the classroom a thorough knowledge of their academic fields and the inner workings of SCCC. The other two-thirds of our credit classes are taught by part-time faculty who are highly trained and often active practitioners in their fields of expertise. Together, our full- and part-time instructors comprise an effective and caring faculty. |

The Division of Continuing Education sponsors courses at various locations throughout the community. Among the sites where evening and weekend courses have been offered are local high schools, Richmor Aviation, Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority sites, and the Maritime Center. Off-campus courses are a means of providing college level instruction at a convenient distance from students’ homes and workplaces. |
