to an employer, would a person with a degree from a university "look better" than one with a degree in the same study from a community college?

in most cases, it wouldn't really matter. however, a community college usually only offers two year degrees and university degrees are mostly four year programs... and a four year degree is better than a two year degree. if i had it to do again, i'd get the two year degree at a community college and continue to do another two years at the university to get the four year degree issued from them, mostly to save a LOT of money.

The community college I live by just started doing the same thing. I don’t see a problem with obtaining a 4 year degree at a community college. I am a huge advocate for community college. It saves a lot of money! I always said “if my community college offered my field of study and I could go for 4 years I would’ve.” So obviously you can tell which direction I would suggest you head in!

Yes -- way better.
Not only are most universities better schools than community colleges -- but a four year degree is better than a two year degree. Therefore, you won't find anyone with the "same study" coming out of a community college.
Don't believe me? Then what do they call someone who leaves Harvard with a 4.0 GPA after two years? They don't call him someone with an associates degree -- they call him a college dropout.

in the nursing profession the employer actually likes community college better
this is due to the fact that most community college nursing students are older and have went back to school to obtain a degree which shows good work habits.

cc's and universities are 2 different things. community college is just a cheaper way to get the same education for your general education units. community colleges only award associate degrees...universities offer bachelor degrees. so a university is obviously a better choice because you get more education. you go to community colleges to TRANSFER to universities.

The amount of degrees that you have are all positive, be it associate, (2 year), bachelors, (4 year), on up. It depends on what job you are going for and what type of degree they desire to see.

Probably, but don't make the mistake of thinking that your ability to be hired is limited to a piece of paper. Your skills, personality, ability to get along, etc are far more important.
Employers know that most university grads can't spell, think or write a decent report. (I know this 'cause I used to hire them)
