- SLCC Organizational Chart
Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) is the largest higher education institution with the most diverse student body in Utah. The College serves more than 60,000 students in credit and non-credit courses at 13 locations throughout the Salt Lake Valley, including online class options. Even with its large student body, students don’t get lost in the ‘shuffle’ because SLCC’s student to faculty ratio is just 20 to 1. Since 1948, SLCC has focused on providing individual attention and personal care to each student.
Competitive tuition, financial aid, scholarships, academic and career advising, and programs focused on student success to give people ready access to the College.
SLCC is accredited through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). NWCCU is an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. This accreditation allows for most credits to be easily transferred from SLCC to 4-year colleges and universities.
SLCC adheres to a semester schedule and offers the following degrees:
- Associate of Arts (A.A.)
- Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
- Associte of Science (A.S.)
- Associate of Pre-Engineering (A.P.E.)
- Certificates and Diplomas
Open access, personalized attention, a range of programs and training opportunities, and quality educational services have made Salt Lake Community College the place for students to take their first step to higher education and the place for professionals to take the next step to advance their careers.
