Twelve, maybe thirteen years have passed and I decided to go back to school. I fortunately landed on SCC for their web design program without even knowing the perks or the quality I was receiving. SCC is one of five (I think that was the number I was told) schools in the country using a Citrix program that allows all students remote access to the software that they need in their coursework. What that meant for me was I didn't need to buy the Adobe Suite, or sit on campus doing homework all the time. This is huge. Trust me.
Secondly I had to take three classes this summer through Rio Salado on-line and I didn't know how good I had it with SCC! SCC is so much more organized, the professors grade your projects sooner and offer feedback not to mention they use Blackboard for on-line classes which while it's not the best, it's functional which really says something.
To anyone out there debating where to sign up for classes, even on-line classes, I urge you to consider Scottsdale Community College. The quality is superior and it even comes with "perks".
