—SNIPPET:
During
the past century, community colleges have grown
tremendously in number and have changed with the times. No
other segment of postsecondary education has been more
responsive to its community’s workforce needs. At
community colleges, students can learn at any point in
their lives while taking advantage of low tuition,
convenient campus locations, open admissions, and
comprehensive course offerings.
Community colleges have long granted associate degrees
that typically take about 2 years of full-time study to
complete. These programs offer students the traditional
college-level courses that lead to an associate degree and
prepare students for further study toward a bachelor’s
degree. Community colleges also offer vocationally
oriented associate degrees that prepare students for
careers.
