Seattle Central College

Seattle Central College is a state college located in Seattle, Washington, in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood. It is one of the three colleges that comprise the Seattle Colleges District. Its programs include Information Technologies, Business Administration, Healthcare, Apparel Design, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Graphic Design, and other programs. 

The college has been called one of the nation's most diverse colleges. There is a substantial international student population served by the International Education Programs division as well as many immigrant and refugee students taking ESL courses through the Basic and Transitional Studies division.

 Seattle Central College also encompasses the Wood Construction Center and Seattle Maritime Academy, which are on separate campuses in order to house the very specific tools and workspaces needed.

The City Collegian was Seattle Central College's award-winning biweekly student newspaper, published continuously from 1966 until 2008. In that year, college administrators shut it down and cancelled journalism classes after controversial articles by student journalists embarrassed the administrators, prompted student protests, and incurred administrative hostility toward the journalists and their publication. 

The paper's faculty adviser, Jeb Wyman, resigned to protest administrative actions. The City Collegian returned to print as New City Collegian on June 5, 2012. Written by Seattle Central students, the publication was sponsored by a local business, Cupcake Royale, and received no funding from the college.

It has since ceased publication. A magazine, The Central Circuit, was established in 2011 and published several times a year. It was the only student publication funded by the college until it suspended publication in 2016 due to the lack of an advisor.
