A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT At Shoreline, every student counts… Dear Students: A college education can open the door to a brighter future. For over 40 years, Shoreline Community College has helped students make decisions about their futures. We give them education to move into the workplace or on to a four-year university with the confidence and skills they need to succeed. The college has worked hard to develop one of the most successful university transfer programs in the state. Each year, graduates of Shoreline Community College transfer smoothly to public and private four-year colleges and universities. What’s more, our graduates generally perform as well as the students who begin their college careers in the four-year schools. Our professional-technical students graduate with the skills most in demand in today’s workplace. Their job placement rate is well over 80 percent. The average entry-level salary is $16 per hour, with many graduates earning much more. Shoreline provides students with a technology-rich environment with a completely renovated library and 100-seat computer lab. We use technology to provide students with web registration, an online bookstore, and many new distance learning options. This past year, we saw the economy produce many dislocated workers who began new careers by enrolling at SCC. Many others are preparing to enter the workforce for the first time. To help students prepare for college-level work, the col- lege provides a rich program in basic skills, developmental education and English as a Second Language. In the friendly, active and diverse environment of Shoreline Community College, every student counts. We invite you to visit our beautifully landscaped campus and learn more about the many exciting opportunities that await you.
