The sky's the limit for SCCC graduates; especially with the Ramapo at Sussex Program.
Here are a few inspiring stories that illustrate how you can start here, and go anywhere.
 Hunter Kitchell 3+1 Program Graduate鈥淪CCC was both local and affordable, where I was able to work while also getting an education. The environment was also friendly and familiar to me. The financial and educational opportunities through the Ramapo 3+1 Program drew my attention. Through this Program, I was able to graduate with no debt while obtaining a four-year degree. I was able to freely roam among classes and stay at a community college for three years before completing my final year at a four-year college. The support and guidance I received through the 3+1 Program were both amazing and fluid, guiding me throughout the entire process.鈥�

 Jillian Couch 3+1 Student"I attended all my classes online and received my Liberal Arts degree from SCCC and transferred into the 3+1 program. I've been able to pursue my studies and continue on to my bachelor鈥檚 degree. This program has been academically enriching and offered substantial financial savings. I am also able to continue to receive financial aid.
Attending classes online for the first two years was crucial for me as a parent prioritizing my children's needs. This flexibility allowed me to balance my academic pursuits with the demands of family life. I am grateful for the opportunities and support I've received, which have enabled me to progress towards my degree while ensuring my children thrive." |
 Jennifer Stadler 3+1 Student"I began college in 2007, but life took me on a different path. Recently, I was fortunate to return to SCCC and resume my education. With no car, I was able to take all my classes online and earn my associate degree. I am starting the 3+1 with Ramapo and am still able to receive financial support."
