What is College?
There are a few different ways you can continue your education after high school.
Career Schools
Career schools provide certificates of completion or diplomas; not degrees. They provide training in a specific trade, occupation, or vocation, and offer short programs.
Community Colleges
Community colleges are two-year public institutions that offer one-year certificates and two-year associate degrees, as well as apprentice and journeyman programs. They prepare you for technical careers or for transfer to a four-year college or university.
Four-year Colleges and Universities
Four-year colleges and universities offer a wider variety of degrees including bachelor’s and master’s degrees. They cost more than a community college and usually have specific admission requirements.
