A college degree is a must-have for countless career paths. Yet, many students find themselves graduating with significant student loans, adding pressure to the hectic early career development phase. Southeast Community College, with locations throughout southeast Nebraska, offers an attractive alternative by giving students an affordable option for the journey toward a career or a bachelor’s degree.

Many state schools and universities are facing complex budget challenges, forcing them to raise tuition costs. The University of Nebraska, for instance, could experience a budget gap as high as $50 million within two years, which could put a student’s ability to access an affordable education at risk.

As a result of rising tuition costs, many students with their sights set on college feel torn between two uncomfortable choices: Either take out hefty student loans or forego a postsecondary education altogether. Fortunately, Nebraskans don’t have to make the difficult decision between insurmountable debt and sacrificing their studies. Instead, they can simply enroll at one of SCC’s many locations throughout southeast Nebraska, including campuses in Beatrice, Lincoln and Milford.

With a comprehensive range of programs, outstanding instructors and an exceptional curriculum, SCC provides a stellar stepping stone environment through which students can begin their path toward a degree. Plus, they can do so at a fraction of the cost of a four-year school.

Should students still wish to pursue an education elsewhere after fulfilling their work at SCC, they can transfer credits with ease. Plus, they can satisfy all of the requirements for an associate degree as well as the first half of a bachelor’s degree without the high tuition price tag.
