Frequently asked questions...

What is a Community College?

Community colleges offer several kinds of programs of interest to international students:

  • University transfer programs
  • Technical programs
  • Job training programs
  • Basic skills programs
  • Special interests programs

International students are probably most interested in the first type of program on this list. Community colleges offer the first two years of a normal four-year bachelors degree program. Thus, students who attend a community college can prepare themselves to transfer to a four-year institution by completing the lower division courses in the community college instead of in the university.

What are the advantages for international students coming to the United States?

  • Easy, open admission policies
  • Wide selection of academic and technical programs
  • Basic skill courses including ESL
  • Supportive learning environment with small classes
  • Low cost tuition
  • Credits fully transferable to other colleges and universities
