Join Your Field of Interest
SCC’s programs are organized into nine categories, called Fields of Interest (FOIs). All students identify a field of interest for their studies, which opens the door to a community of events, resources, and fellow students pursuing the same degree program. You will meet the dedicated faculty and staff in these areas who help support students along their educational journey.
