Life at SMC

University Experience, Community College Cost

SMC has always had a long history of academic excellence, but college is about more than just just a great classroom experience. 

In the mid 2000’s, SMC expanded its mission to include a focus on the total college life experience. That change has brought stellar support services, on-campus housing, and robust student activities to bring campus to life in new ways.
