What's the Difference Between Community College & a University?
Embedded Files
Community Colleges offer 2 year programs where you can earn an Associates Degree. If you choose, you can attend community college first to complete prerequisite classes (classes that everyone has to take, reading, writing, math, etc) and then transfer to a university as a junior.
Universities offer 4+ year programs where you can earn a Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree, or Doctorate Degrees.
Have you heard of the Oregon Promise?
The Oregon Promise is a state grant that helps cover tuition costs at any Oregon community college for recent high school graduates. Students must apply during their senior year or immediately after GED test completion. You must have at least a 2.0 GPA, be an Oregon resident, attend an Oregon community college, and be a recent high school graduate in order to apply.
