Community College: A first step to a bachelor's degree
2 pages
Community college is an excellent, popular and low-cost option for California students who want to transfer to a four-year state university. About 30% of high school graduates go to community college immediately and about one-third of University of California and two-thirds of California State University graduates began at a community college.
Presented in an easy to read question-and-answer format, this free guide helps high-school students evaluate if a community college would be the right place to start on their path to a bachelor's degree.
