Why Consider Community College?

Do you like to save money?

Do you like small classes?

Would you like to gain a vocation at the same time you are working towards your College Degree?

Just look at the cost comparison.

Community Colleges offer specific courses that four year colleges and universities have agreed to accept when students transfer. The cost of attending community college is significantly less expensive because of an extensive amount of support from the state of California and Local Community College Districts.  The lower costs do not result in lower quality education!!!  In fact there are many aspects for which a Community College education is advantagous.  For example, typical community college classes have 25 to 40 students, typical equivalent undergraduate courses at a CSU school may have 40 - 100 students, and at a UC school their may be as many as several hundred students, or more, in several different classrooms, enrolled in the same class.

Students can earn their first two undergraduate years of college in a community college program, and then apply to their choice of State College/University or University of California (or many California private universities).  Students can be assured that their transferable courses will count toward bachelors degree at CSU and UC schools. That is the way the community college program has been designed.
