Office of the President

Welcome to Seattle Central Community College

We are proud to be Seattle's first community college. Since 1966, we have helped tens of thousands of students realize their potential. Whether you want to pursue a second career, begin your college education, prepare for a four-year college or learn how to make the perfect roast, we have a place for you.

Seattle Central is an urban community serving about 10,000 students each quarter. We take immense pride in our culture of diversity. Our students come from 50 nations and range from age 18 to 80. It is this diversity that led TIME Magazine to name Seattle Central "College of the Year" in 2001-2002.

Students at Seattle Central are not just another face in the crowd. Our classes are small enough for your instructors to get to you know you as a person. Whatever stage of your education you find yourself, Seattle Central is for people like you.

Sincerely,

Mildred W. Ollée, Ed.D
