Meet Shane Cushing: SMCC AlumnUS

“Continuing my education was easy.” “I saved thousands of dollars by attending SMCC before going on to a four-year school. When I was ready to earn my bachelor’s degree, I applied to more than ten institutions, and all of them accepted nearly all my credits. I didn’t have any college debt when I left SMCC, and now I am earning a master’s degree at the University of Maine in Orono.”
