SPARTANBURG – It’s not too late to register for spring classes at Spartanburg Community College (SCC), one of the fastest-growing colleges in the nation, according to Community College Week.

With SCC’s FlexStart terms starting on Feb. 14, March 2 and 21, beginning or continuing a college education is convenient for students of all ages.

SCC’s FlexStart offerings include 10-, 7.5- and 5-week terms that begin later in the semester but cover all of the course materials required in fewer weeks than traditional classes.

“These courses are ideal for students who prefer to work harder and faster to complete coursework in a shorter timeframe, so they have more time for work, family and other responsibilities and activities,” said SCC registrar Celia Bauss.

SCC offers FlexStart courses in the following areas of study:

• Administrative Office Technology

• American Sign Language

• Art History

• Automotive

• Economics

• Engineering

• English

• History

• Introduction to Computers

• Introduction to Early Childhood

• Math

• Music

• Psychology

• Religion

FlexStart courses are available during the day, evening, weekend and online. Individuals interested in applying to the college to take FlexStart classes can apply in person at any SCC campus or online at www.sccsc.edu. Registration for FlexStart terms is going on now. Not all FlexStart classes are available at each SCC location.

Visit the SCC Web site for a complete listing of offerings and locations.

SCC began offering the FlexStart classes in 2006 in an effort to provide students with another option to make a college education accessible and achievable. The program has been very successful and classes fill quickly.
