What is Community College?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Community colleges offer two-year associate’s degrees<\/strong>, and many students continue their education at a four-year institution. They also provide career-specific associate’s degrees and certificates. Community colleges are an affordable option because of their low tuition costs and may also have a more flexible admissions process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community colleges and four-year universities often develop special transfer agreements<\/strong> between institutions so you can earn a bachelor\u2019s degree after completing two years of community college, followed by two years of university study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community college is a great place to explore your interests, gain vocational training and experience, earn a credential, or build your transcript for transferring to a four-year college or university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
