The Academic Division at Southern Union State Community College offers the Associate
in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees. Academic Division departments include Business, Child Development,
Computer Science, Fine Arts, Language Arts, Mathematics, Office Management, Science, and Social Science The SUSCC Learning Resource
Centers are also part of the Academic

Since the College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools, the College's academic courses, dependent upon an individual's
program of study, are transferable to other colleges and universities. All academic
courses are taught by fully qualified instructors with a low student to teacher
ratio.
|
|
|
|
Through an articulation agreement between Alabama two- and four-year colleges and
universities, two-year college students who complete the general education core
in Areas I - IV of the Associate in Science Degree plus Area V courses that are
appropriate to their major and/or degree program are guaranteed junior status upon
transferring to the upper division college.

enough to value each student as an individual. Academic standards are high, but
we give you extra help if you need it to reach your goals. If you are enrolling
in an Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science Degree program in the
Academic Division, you should follow the general requirements for admissions as
