Overview

What Is Community College?

Community colleges are primarily public higher education institutions that strive to provide affordable education that's accessible to all.

An associate degree, which takes about two years to complete full time, is usually the highest degree available, but community college students can also receive certificates and job training. Many students begin their postsecondary studies at ​community colleges before transferring to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor's degree.
