Southeast Community College (SCC) is a public community college system in the southeast portion of Nebraska. The college was established in 1973 and has three main campuses in Lincoln, Milford, and Beatrice. The college also has Learning Centers in surrounding cities.

This is a strong option for Nebraska students who want to keep costs manageable — with a median debt of just $6,672 at graduation, you're unlikely to leave buried in loans. The three-campus setup across Lincoln, Milford, and Beatrice adds real flexibility for students in southeast Nebraska. Just go in with clear goals, as median earnings of $40,200 a decade out are modest, so the payoff depends heavily on what program you choose and where you take your education next.
