School Notes
Spoon River College serves 4,000 credit students per year in a
1,566 square miles area including Fulton, McDonough, Mason,
Schuyler and part of Knox counties. Spoon River College offers the
personalized, quality learning environment that prepares you for
success. Classes are small and the ability to work one-on-one with
individual faculty members is a priority. As a result, you are well
prepared for successful moves into four-year universities or the
workforce. SRC boasts an average class size of 14, with each class
taught by a highly qualified instructor...not a graduate assistant.
Learning takes place in many locations, not just in the classroom.
In addition to the Canton Campus, Macomb Campus, Havana Center and
Rushville Center buildings, Spoon River College students prepare
for success in real-life learning situations. Some of these areas
include hospitals for nursing students, the large Vocational
Technical building on the SRC Canton Campus, and child care
facilities. Agriculture is taught in the classroom and in the
field. Spoon River College also has an Arboretum on campus for the
study of wildlife. In addition, computer labs are available at
every campus. This includes comprehensive distance learning
facilities at all locations. Students can take classes via
television from these facilities. As a comprehensive community
college, Spoon River College provides a wide-range of activities to
round out the complete college experience. Some of the activities
include varsity athletics, drama, literary magazine, Student
Senate, Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, Alpha Gamma Tau
Agricultural Fraternity, and Phi Mu Tau Diesel Tractor Technology
Fraternity. The main campus of SRC is located on a beautiful,
wooded site comprised of 160 acres near the Cuba Blacktop on County
Road 22 just four miles west of Canton. The site contains four
conveniently connected buildings that house a student center,
learning resource center, classrooms, laboratories, administrative
offices, and a cafeteria. Adequate, free parking is provided in
lots adjacent to the buildings. The campus also includes a natural
arboretum, walking trail, and agricultural test plots.
