SCC's Associate Degree Nursing Club involves students pursuing a career in nursing who wish to give support to the Stanly County community through fundraising and volunteer work. The nursing students involved with this club function to better themselves through advancing education and to better the members of the community through care, support, and promoting public awareness of community needs.

The Criminal Justice Club meets once a month. We invite "real world" guest speakers, such as police officers, state troopers, police detectives, crime-scene techs, wild-life officers, sheriff deputies, K-9 officers, etc., to speak to our club members so the students can determine if they are interested in that particular career. In addition, we try to provide "free lunch" for the club. We also participate in SCA fall and spring activities. In addition, we have an end-of-the-year cookout for our members.

Phi Theta Kappa is a 75-year old honor society that was founded to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students.
