Other vocational training offered by Seattle Central includes information technology and graphic design programs.

The City Collegian was Seattle Central College's award-winning biweekly student newspaper, published continuously from 1966 until 2008.

Written by Seattle Central students, the publication was sponsored by a local business, Cupcake Royale, and received no funding from the college.
