Right now I am attended a community college. I am getting a two year degree and then transfering to a University in my area. I know the credits transfer (I already asked about that) but are the credits I revceive at the community college of "lower quality"? I am worried taking two years at a community college is almost a waste of time.

Thank you. :) I'm really glad to hear that. I'm a very good student, very devoted to my studies. I want to become a dermatologist. Due to family problems I wasn't able to leave for a university this year but I plan to once I receive my AA degree.

At cc and university, 3 credits = 3 credits, not more, not less.
3 always = 3- you are not wasting your time. People who think cc is a waste of time don't usually know much about education. This is the kind of thing one hears from people who are uninformed (which is fine, we're all uninformed about something- I know very little about birds, for example, but worked in higher ed).

If the credits you received were transferrable, they will be worth just as much. The only problem comes if you took courses at the community college level which your university says must be taken as "upper division" (junior or senior)-level courses. Then you would still get credit for them, but may have to retake a similar course at the upper division.

those credits are good, it's mostly the same thing, the difference is that classes are smaller and cheaper.
You won't waste your time, i did my 60 credits in a community college and now I'm in a university taking my major courses. i have more credits than my friend that started in the University.
so good luck and get good grades, because the Universities will be looking for those ;-)

It's not a waste of time, the credits will transfer with the same amount of credit hours. As long as you do well in the classes then don't worry about it.

Not only were all my junior college credits good, but I took some advanced placement credits at junior college that were accepted as credit for upper division classes.

Credits are credits Angela. Of more importance is that you have learned and understand the curriculum taught. You appear to be a bright person, I'm sure you'll have no problems.

sure, your community college GPA transfers over on your college and gets blanketed on your gpa. I attended a city community college, and then transfered to a 4 year college in my junior year, and whilst i could look at my grade progression checklist on the college, the prevalent gpa blanketed my community college gpa in it as properly. good success!
