Advantages of Attending a Community College
Advantages of Attending a Community College
1. California high school graduates may be eligible for two free years of tuition, which means you can save a lot of money when paying for your education.
2. Students can finish their general education requirements in smaller classroom settings.
3. Attending community college allows you to explore major and career options if you are not yet sure what you want to do.
4. California community colleges have agreements with California 4-year colleges and universities, which means there are great transfer opportunities.
5. Students can do 2+2. Two years at a community college and two years at a 4-year college= Bachelor's degree. (There is no difference between a Bachelor's degree earned solely at a 4-year college and a Bachelor's degree earned by transferring from a community college.)
6. Community colleges offer certificates and associate's degree programs that can prepare you for a career within 2 years or less.
