The patio area behind Scott Community College's main building.
Scott Community College (or SCC, as it is known by students and faculty) became an entity in July 1966, the same year legislation in the Iowa General Assembly created the state's 15 community college districts, one of those being the Eastern Iowa Community College District. Offices were in downtown Bettendorf.[citation needed]
SCC traces its ancestry to the former Davenport Area Technical School, a technical and vocational school administered by the Davenport School District; and Palmer Junior College, that offered two-year liberal arts programs.[citation needed]
SCC's first term was Fall 1966, with tuition $150 per semester, or $10 per class for part-time students. More courses of study were added to the old Davenport Area Trade School's list of offerings, including auto body and repair, secretarial and clerical, and drafting.[citation needed]
The urban campus in downtown Davenport
The main campus on Belmont Road in Riverdale opened in 1969. (The college has a Bettendorf mailing address but is, technically, located in the small town of Riverdale.) The campus was erected on land once owned by Alcoa. At first, the campus housed technology programs, but soon expanded to offer liberal arts/college transfer programs. The SCC campus was expanded in 1987 and again in the mid-1990s.[citation needed]
The college now includes a number of locations in addition to its main campus. The Blong Technology Center is located near Interstate 80 in Davenport. The colleges West Davenport Center was opened in 2012 delivering adult and continuing education classes. The estate of V.O. and Elizabeth Figge donated the Kahl Building in Davenport to the college in 1994. After renovations, it became the school's urban campus. In January 2018 the urban campus moved into the former First Federal Savings and Loan Association and First Midwest Bank buildings.[5] In addition, the college offers a wide variety of online courses in cooperation with the Iowa Community College Online Consortium.[citation needed]
On February 5, 2007, the Eastern Iowa Community Colleges unveiled plans to turn the grounds of the former Wacky Waters Adventure Park, located near Interstate 80 in Davenport, into the Midwest Center for Public Safety Training to "serve as a unique training ground for firefighters".[6]
In 1967, SCC's enrollment was just over 300 students. By 1989, the number ballooned to nearly 3,300. SCC's Fall 2014 enrollment was 4,634.[citation needed]
The college offers intercollegiate sports in men's and women's soccer and cross country. The teams are known as the Eagles.[citation needed]
Scott offer both Pre-University and technical courses, in which the pre-university courses takes up four semesters which is two years total, enough for an Associate Degree, leading for the students to attend a university, usually one in the state of Iowa or Western Illinois University at their campus setting in Moline. The technical courses not just carried Associate as well but also a Certificate, 30 credits per year. The universities that the Liberal Arts and Sciences programs get transferred to are:
