Shelton State Community College Introduces Free Citizenship Course Through Adult Education

September 23, 2021 – Shelton State Community College’s Adult Education will begin a free Citizenship course to prepare students for the naturalization process.  The new course will begin on October 4, 2021, with subsequent course availability every ten weeks.  The course will meet on the College’s Fredd Campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Interested students must be at least 18 years of age and have been a permanent resident for five or more years.

The preparation of students for naturalization includes developing English language skills and learning U.S. government, history, and geography.  Students will learn specialized vocabulary to prepare to pass the exam successfully.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for individuals seeking American citizenship,” stated Kristen Bobo, SSCC’s Director of Adult Education.  “Not only will students be able to prepare for the naturalization process, they will also be supported by those of us working closely with them.  We are very ready to begin with our first group!”
