What is a community college?

Community colleges offer international students an amazing opportunity to study in the USA. International students regularly choose to study at a community college to access high quality teaching and outstanding student support.

Community colleges offer a wide range of academic and vocational programs leading to a two-year associates degree, which students can also use towards their US bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university. Community colleges represent outstanding value and offer affordable ways to getting a US degree for thousands of international students every year.
