"SMCC is about more than affordability; it has really good academic programs and the professors have our backs. I like that the school encourages students to continue their education after they graduate, and that it teaches students to develop leadership skills. And I like the diversity of the students."

"I’m receiving both a classroom education and hands-on job experience while attending SMCC. Thanks to SMCC, I’m going to graduate with a two-year degree along with two years of experience in the field, which is great. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble getting a job after graduation."

"SMCC is providing me the education for a bright future while enabling me to earn a highly competitive internship at Disney World in Florida. It’s great to have instructors who have hands-on knowledge and connections in the industry, who live the business. They’re able to pass that knowledge onto students, which has been phenomenal."
