Skagit Valley College (SVC) is a public community college in Mount Vernon, Washington. It serves students in Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties in northwest Washington state. Established in 1926, SVC is as the second-oldest continuously operating community college in the state of Washington. SVC grants academic transfer pathways, professional/technical degrees, and certificates. The academic transfer degree and several professional/technical degrees can be completed online. SVC also offers Basic Education for Adults and Community Education courses. Courses are offered during Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a four-year transfer or a technical certificate — at just $6,116/year in net cost and under $9,000 in median debt, the financial picture is genuinely reasonable. That said, the 34% graduation rate is a real concern and suggests many students don't complete their program, so you'll want to go in with a clear plan and strong support system. Median earnings of $36,100 a decade out are modest, which makes sense for a community college feeder school, but confirms this is best used as a stepping stone rather than a final destination.
