Dear Students:
 Dear
Students:
A college education can open the door to a brighter
future. For over 40 years, Shoreline Community College
has helped students make decisions about their futures.
We give them education to move into the workplace or on
to a four-year university with the confidence and skills
they need to succeed.
The college has worked hard to develop one of the most
successful university transfer programs in the state.
Each year, graduates of Shoreline Community College
transfer smoothly to public and private four-year
colleges and universities. What's more, our graduates
generally perform as well as the students who begin
their college careers in the four-year schools.
Our professional-technical students graduate with the
skills most in demand in today's workplace. Their job
placement rate is well over 90 percent. The average
entry-level salary is $16 per hour, with many graduates
earning much more.
SCC at Lake Forest Park offers a wide array of
information technology training, including A+ Service
Technician, Network +, Microsoft Certified Systems
Engineer and more. Shoreline provides students with a
technology-rich environment with a completely renovated
library and 100-seat computer lab. We use technology to
provide students with web registration, an online
bookstore, and many new distance learning options.
This past year, we saw the economy produce many
dislocated workers who began new careers by enrolling at
SCC. Many others are preparing to enter the workforce
for the first time. To help students prepare for
college-level work, the college provides a rich program
in basic skills, developmental education and English as
a Second Language.
In the friendly, active and diverse environment of
Shoreline Community College, every student counts. We
invite you to visit our beautifully landscaped campus
and learn more about the many exciting opportunities
that await you.
With best wishes for your success,
Lee Lambert
President
