Academic flexibility

Attending a community college can be the right way for students to ease into the world of higher education and learn at their own pace. This is especially true for students who struggled in high school or anyone unsure if they want to make significant time and money investment in the college, experts say.

The quality of instruction at many community colleges is on par with the courses taught at four-year universities, experts say. Two-year programs are also an excellent option for students interested in well-paying technology or health care professions that don’t require a bachelor’s degree. Articulation agreements – a partnership between two-and four-year institutions that outlines a clear path to college – can help students who do need a bachelor’s earn the degree at a fraction of the cost.
