Part 1 3.7.qxp - Southwestern Oregon Community College

Welcome
“Success is a journey, not a destination.” – Arthur Ashe
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Southwestern Oregon
Community College’s 2006-07 Course Catalog. For those who
have seen our catalog in previous years, you may notice some
changes! Whether this is your first, or 45th, catalog from
Southwestern, our goal has been to provide you with the most
current information available about the academic curriculum and
student support services we offer here in a user friendly format.
Contained in these pages are Pathways of Success – courses
that can lead you to certificates, degrees, careers and/or successful
transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Whether your
destination is a single course or an advanced degree, Southwestern
is here to help you along the way. We have engaged and talented
faculty, dedicated and helpful staff; all willing to guide you to
achieve the dreams you have for a better tomorrow.
I hope your journey through life brings you to our beautiful
Southwestern campus – whether it be in person, online, or through
one of our numerous outreach centers which include our vibrant
Curry County sites in Port Orford, Gold Beach, and Brookings.
May you find success along the numerous pathways we offer.
If I can be of any help along the way, I hope you will contact me.
Take care,
Dr. Stephen Schoonmaker
Vice President of Instruction and Student Services
