Since launching in 2023, SMCC’s Bachelor of Science program has seen tremendous growth, with hundreds of students entering the degree pipeline. At its most recent annual graduation ceremony in the Spring of 2024, the college celebrated the first four graduates of the BS program, who walked the stage and received their diplomas.
