Somerset Community College (SCC) is a public community college in Somerset, Kentucky. It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). The college offers academic, general education, and technical curricula leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. Somerset Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,913 per year after aid and only $8,000 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential you'll find anywhere. The concern worth naming is that median earnings of $27,500 a decade out suggest graduates are largely staying in lower-wage local jobs, so if you're aiming for a four-year transfer or a higher-earning career, have a clear plan before enrolling rather than assuming the degree alone will get you there.
