REal Working People: Community College Myth?

Question

Hi, Thank You for viewing my question.

I need insight from people who graduate from college and is in the work force -or- is a employer.

Well lets say you want to take two years of community college and then transfer to a University.

Will you be at a disadvantage to a four year UC gradulate?

and if yes how much does it differ.


Thank you for helping a lost high school senor.

Please State your experiences too ^_^

Answer 1

No you are not at any disadvantage. Actually it is an advantage because you can take all the pre-required classes like basic math and english, which are needed with whatever major you have at a community college then transfer all your credits to a university and take classes that are designed for your major. This saves alot of money and time. Also check with your high school if there is a Community College in your area they should offer Dual-Enrollment and you could take college classes while you are still in high school. If you focuss on doing just pre-req's at a CC then you could be done in one year and two years at a University. Although make sure your earned credits at the CC will transfer to the University you chose.

Good Luck

Answer 2

If you do your first two years at community college, then transfer to a four-year school and get your bachelor's degree, you won't be looked at any differently in the job market from someone who did the whole four years at the 4-year school.

Community college can have lots of advantages. Classes are often much smaller, and costs are almost always substantially less.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I went to CC for 2 years, and saved a bunch of money - lower fees, no on-campus housing, and all my classes transferred no problem. I feel it was a good choice for me. There was also a four-year university that began offering BS degrees on the campus of my CC, so I never had to even move to get my BS degree. Look into it.
