Meet Jeff
"The business programs offered at Southern State can create a career pathway for the future. A business degree can help you get a better job, advance at your current job, or serve as the foundation for a bachelor's degree. We help students prepare for the opportunities that are available today."
Meet Travis
"Southern State means different things to different people. For some, it is a starting point in the pursuit of a four-year degree. For others, it is a place to reinvent themselves, rejuvenate their career, or finish a degree started long ago. With a diverse community of learners, Southern State is such a great place to learn."
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
"I realized that without a degree, I could not advance any further in the career that I had been part of for 15 years. I was hesitant and little scared to go to college since I graduated from high school more than 20 years prior. After doing my research, I decided to enroll at Southern State Community College.
My first class at Southern State had such an impact and gave me the confidence to achieve more than what I had ever imagined. Since then, I have earned two Associate Degrees - one in Business Management and the other in Accounting. I am now finishing my Bachelor's Degree through one of the many transfer agreements that Southern State has established with a variety of four-year institutions, and will soon begin a Master's degree program.
If I had not taken that first step of attending Southern State, I would have never realized my capability of earning the education I have obtained. The instructors were always available and they personally helped me achieve my goals."
Amanda P. | Southern State Graduate
"I was working at various jobs, raising two children, and watching girls I graduated high school with build their careers. I put off going to school because I wondered if I could dive into classes and still be a good mom. After 20-plus years, I decided to enroll at Southern State and, in 2013, I earned my degree."
"As a recent graduate with an associate degree, I also received various certifications through Southern State’s on-site Certification Test Centers. Now I am working on my bachelor's degree with Franklin University and the best part is, I don't even have to leave campus since my classes are online. Through Southern State’s many partnerships with several four-year colleges that promote transfer and huge cost savings, I have been able to work and care for my family while receiving a quality education."
"With no Southern State, I wouldn't have gone to school. I knew I had something to offer and Southern State Community College helped me find it. I learned that if you apply yourself, you will succeed. I’m not afraid now. I was, but that is behind me. I have confidence. Thank you Southern State!"
NeCole D. | Southern State Graduate
"Attending Southern State Community College allowed me to have the flexibility I needed to begin my career in the business field. Today I have a very successful and rewarding career with a community bank in my hometown doing what I love."
Amy H. | Southern State Graduate
"With Southern State Community College being so close to home, and very affordable, I have been able to attend classes while staying within my budget. The classes that I have taken so far are relevant to the degree I am pursuing, and I know I will be prepared when entering the workplace upon graduation."
Joel C. | Southern State Graduate
"I am so happy that I chose to attend Southern State. The tuition is affordable, and the accessibility of campuses and one-on-one attention can't be beat. Upon graduation, only three days in fact, I was able to land a job close to home without having to commute to a large city. I thank Southern State for that!"
Shelly M. | Southern State Graduate
