SCC, The Citadel partner to offer Business Administration degree
AUG 30, 2012
Students in Spartanburg Community College’s Associate in Arts with Business Electives Program can now continue their education and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from The Citadel. This articulation agreement, the first SCC has formed with The Citadel, provides students another opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree through SCC’s University Transfer Program.
"The Citadel is very excited to partner with SCC. This transfer program, called a 2 Plus 2 program, allows students from SCC to complete a degree from The Citadel, without necessarily having to move to Charleston,” said Dr. Bob McNamara, associate dean of Evening Undergraduate Studies at The Citadel. “We are committed to helping students achieve their educational goals and these types of partnerships serve to fulfill that objective. While not every student will select The Citadel as their educational provider, we think this new relationship with SCC and other similar schools give students greater flexibility and choice in deciding which institution best suits their needs."

Decker teaches skills techniques and to let go of fear of art
AUG 27, 2012
Robert Decker, a local artist, has a passion for art and for sharing it with others. That passion comes through when you see him teaching art classes.
He’s teaching a colored pencil class at Stomping Grounds on Monday evenings (7-9 p.m.), and I sat down with him there to find out where his passion comes from and what inspires him to teach others. He almost always carries a sketchbook with him. If you ask, he’ll show you his sketches of people in restaurants and coffee shops, drawings of buildings and landscapes, and fanciful pictures of dragons and other mythical creatures. I felt inspired just looking through the pages.
