About This School

Spartanburg Community College is a public institution located in Spartanburg, South Carolina with approximately 5,006 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $2,405 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Spartanburg Community College (SCC) is a public community college in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The college serves the citizens of Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union counties in Upstate South Carolina.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and get into the workforce quickly — at just $6,531/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,143 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely minimal. The honest concern is the earning side: graduates typically bring in around $31,700 a decade after enrolling, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted technical career rather than a long-term destination.
