What Is A Community College?


Community colleges offer a wide variety of courses both degree and non-degree. You can attend classes in yoga and swimming to business-oriented classes like human resources and accounting. Because they typically have a much more lax entrance policy, it is much easier to enter even if you do not have grades good enough to enter a four-year college or university.

They are typically funded by tax revenue provided by the local community, which makes it much more cost effective to complete your general education courses before entering a university that directs your studies towards core courses focused toward your career goals.

The Benefits
  • Minimal entrance requirements
  • Affordable education for everyone
  • Offers remedial courses in general education
  • Prepares you for a four-year degree
  • Smaller classes
  • Flexible class schedules
  • Opportunity to improve grades
  • Transferable credits
  • Time to determine career goals
  • Workforce development opportunities
They also offer you the opportunity to get vocational training and continuing education ultimately making it easier for you to find employment. Vocational training can include studies in massage therapy, computer science, Chinese, building inspections, culinary arts, counseling, firefighting, and personal development. A community college offers you the ability to either continue your education for a specific career goal or go to school just to enhance your personal experience and have fun.
