SWCC Career Academies
Juniors and Seniors are able to enroll in one of SWCC's career academies. These academies are Automotive Repair Technology, Collision Repair/Refinish, Information Technology Systems Networking, Carpentry & Building Trades, and Electrical Technology, and Nursing Assisting.
Students who enroll in these courses will take courses on the Creston Campus, Leon Campus, Clarke Campus or at Clarke Co Hospital. These courses will either be in the morning or afternoon. Students will take their core classes the other half of the day at Clarke.
If a student enrolls in a career academy both their junior and senior year, they will have completed one full year of their courses for their two-year technical degree.
Enrollment follows the same process as other SWCC classes.
More information about career academies can be found here.
