What is Spokane Community College (scc.spokane.edu)?

Updated

Spokane Community College (SCC) is a community college in Spokane, Washington, and scc.spokane.edu is its official website. It serves students seeking career technical training, allied health programs, and transfer degrees, with classes offered both online and in person. If you're looking for a two-year college in the Spokane area that offers flexible entry points and multiple study formats, this site is the place to start.

What SCC offers

The college groups its academic offerings into three broad areas:

  • Allied health programs — training tied to healthcare careers.
  • Transfer degrees — programs designed for students who plan to continue at a four-year institution.
  • Career technical programs — hands-on training for direct entry into a field.

These are available online and in person, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and location.

Start dates and scheduling

SCC runs four start dates a year, which means you don't have to wait for a single fall or spring intake to begin. That structure suits students who need to start at different points in the year, whether they're entering straight from high school, returning to school, or changing careers.

Finding and registering for classes

The website provides a Search for Classes function. Use it to look up specific courses by term or subject before you register. The site also has a "Got Questions? We've Got Answers!" section for common inquiries, and a Wildfire Recovery Resources page for students affected by wildfires.

When SCC is a good fit

Consider scc.spokane.edu if you:

  • Want a healthcare-related credential or career technical training.
  • Plan to complete a transfer degree before moving to a four-year school.
  • Need online or hybrid options rather than fully in-person study.
  • Want to start at one of several points during the year instead of a single annual intake.

If you need a four-year degree directly, or you're looking for a college outside the Spokane area, SCC's focus on two-year and career programs may not match your goal.
