    Great options, great campus!
    There is a variety of professional academic programs, such as nursing, dental hygiene, Medical laboratory technician, etc.
    If you have a family, they have the Child & Family Development Center on campus to help with child care!
    The human health and performance building as a full gym with a rock wall for climbing. The wall has 17 rope stations, 12 lead climbing lines, 2 roofs, a running crack, and a 600 square foot bouldering cave. Birthday parties can be held at the climb wall also, with staff present to assist the children professionally. Full time students get gym membership waived.
    This is an amazing campus with amazing perks!

    I am a distance student, which means ALL of my classes are online. When first enrolling, there are plenty of steps to take, but the advisors, websites, and help take you step by step to understand it all. Coming from someone who hadn't been in school for 20 years this was a big help. The online classes are easy to access and the instructors readily available to me. I might never actually step foot on campus, but I'd recommend the school!
    Pursuing a nursing degree is actually my second degree from SJC. I received my Associates in psychology from the college in 2017 and decided to pursue nursing right after. I have thrived at SJC- for the first time in my life and I seeing what I am truly capable to do with the help of my professors and fellow students. I have maintained a 4.0 for the first time in my life at this college.
    I am a very untraditional student- I pursued college in the past but it was never the right time to make an executive decision until I started at SJC in 2012. It is a small college with many top rated programs. The nursing program is considered one of the best and competitive in the USA. The concept based program is so excellent, Ireland and other states are looking at implementing the concept based program for their nursing programs. I am very fortunate to have moved here 9 years ago and find a school that allowed me to thrive in such a positive manner.
