Message from the President
Thank you for checking out Somerset Christian College. We believe God leads people to SCC because He has special plans for them. As a community of learners, we encourage one another to hear, follow and obey the One who makes sense of all truth, Jesus Christ. In that pursuit, we are shaped to be His Word and learn to live and speak it out.
Somerset is here to help you discover how to be that message. Whatever academic program you choose, one thing is certain – you will be on a path of personal transformation, as you interact with extraordinary faculty, staff, and students.
SCC is a new college being built on an old foundation. For over a century, the college has offered biblically-sound courses teaching men and women how to serve God, society and the church in a wide variety of fields. Since 2001, SCC has been the only evangelical college chartered by the State of New Jersey. Along with professional accreditation, Somerset is authorized to offer federal, state and institutional financial aid.
I’d like to invite you to see what I see, an expanded vision for Somerset Christian College to make a major impact spreading God’s kingdom in the metropolitan corridor of the Northeast. Our primary campus is in between the Millstone River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, a picturesque, tranquil – nearly pastoral – site, which is a delight to access by crossing over the wooden bridge. Somerset is in the “wealth belt of America,” five extremely affluent rural counties.
We are also near the most densely populated urban area of the United States. Our vision embraces dozens of communities that are plagued with chronic, crippling urban problems; we need not look beyond 20 miles from Zarephath to find those problems. It seems to me that followers of Jesus should be the most capable and most interested in addressing the biggest problems of the day.
Through godly instructors, rich curricula in career-shaping majors, spiritually enthusiastic students, valuable, enriching internships, and global learning experiences, SCC offers you all you need to be equipped for your best future.
Perhaps God is calling you to add to the blessing of this rapidly growing, multi-cultural community of learning and faith. If so, we welcome you with joy.
Cordially,
President Schroeder
