So Thomas and I rarely agree, but with the exception of his statement about underemployment and unemployment - which is demonstrably wrong - he’s correct that it’s normal and reasonable to go to a community college. However, a few notes:You ultimately have to find a career, and a community college is one way/place to do thatIf you are a college grad and don’t have a career, it’s highly likely that, unless you want a specific career, you don’t need to return to schoolYou should start by investigating careers; here are two free, research-driven sites:O*NET Interest Profiler at My Next MoveWelcome to the Interest ProfilerNot everything at community college is about earning a degree; many careers don’t require a degree, and there are certification and licensure programs that can be shorterThere are different degree programs, and if you pursue a degree, you should almost certainly look at an AAS (associate of applied science), as an AA or AS will duplicate part of what you already haveCommunity colleges aren’t magic and their career programs can be problematic; I’ve seen students graduate with AAS degrees, not really understood their field, and had few career optionsTo answer your specific questions, you may get some federal and/or state financial aid; it depends on specifics. Pell grants are normally not offered, but loans and work-study may be. Here’s a good article: https://www.usnews.com/education...
Can I stay in community college to finish my bachelors degree?
No. Community colleges do not have upper division classes. They only offer classes at the freshman and sophomore level. If you want a bachelors degree, you will have to get it at a university. Community colleges cannot give out bachelors degrees, only associates degrees. Depending on what you want to major in, you may be able to take classes online. Look into doing an online bachelors from your state university. Stay away from for profit degree mills such as Full Sail, DeVry, University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, etc, etc... Be aware that only so many classes transfer to a university, so don't get a hundred credits because only 60 or so will transfer. Maybe less, depending. It would be helpful to know your major.
Choose your target universityIn college, take only transferable courses that your target will accept. In BC, use the BCTransferGuide to check. If you are transfering out of province, use the top university in your province as a benchmark for transferability, although this is not foolproof.Work hard and get good marks. Get better marks than you did in high school. Participate in class. Hand stuff in on time.Visit your instructors during office hours and ask for guidance. Be up-front about your transfer plans and ask how you can improve your work.Apply.Universities see some drop-outs after first and second year, so there is room for transfer students. You just have to make sure you are at the top of the list.
Bachelor's Degree Community College in California?
If you have already got a bachelors measure, there would now not need to take certain core classes like math or english; the credits from the institution you previously attended could lift over. If so, you would no longer need to go to group tuition in any respect. You'll be competent to go straight into your principal. If they don't elevate over, and you have got the cash, i might endorse getting your credits at a univeristy versus a group school. Neighborhood university credit should not continuously approved by means of important universities (this means that you'll must take the category, and pay for it, twice). I propose you name the counseling office at UC Irvine and ask them instantly in the event that they accept credits from community colleges, or if any of your prior lessons would raise over.
Yes.The University of Massachusetts has just such a program:Community College ConnectionI met a young man several years ago, on the UMass Amherst campus. He was visiting at the end of his two years of community college in the Boston area, and was preparing to enter UMass Amherst for his junior year. He told me it was Great!!! He lived with his aunt a short walk away from a community college and it cost him almost "nothing" to get his associate degree. He got great grades and was immediately accepted by UMass (flag ship university) to get a bachelor's degree. The key is Focusing on your studies and making certain that the courses you are taking in the community college will meet all the prerequisite requirements for the degree you expect to seek at the University.
Can you go to a community college for an associates degree but transfer to a university for a bachelors later?
Going to a community college is a great idea, especially if your worried about acceptance to a big university. Lots of people just start their bachelors degree's at the community college and then transfer, you don't have to pick an area, just stay under general studies. Look at the degree plan for the University and take it with you to the community college when you enroll in classes. That way the community college can check that the classes will all transfer and are considered even with the ones required at the university. Plus if you do two years and transfer with a high GPA most of the time you can get full scholarships! If you really want to get an associates then I would compare the classes required to get the associates to those required to get your bachelors to make sure it is will help you achieve your goal, and not just be a waste of money and time, when you have to re-do tons of basics or deal with credits that don't transfer from one school to another!
Online Bachelor's Degree, or Associate Degree at a Community College?
My thing is that I had some trouble starting college out of HS, and now I only have X amount of loans and Pell assistance available. This amount will pay for maybe, two more years of college. I've been going to American Public University online, and am set to get my associates degree in December. I know that some employers sneer at online degrees. An option for me is to transfer to my local community college to finish my associates degree (I've attended the community college before, and in order to be a grad of the college I need 15 credits from them total, and I will have that if I attend even 1 semester). If I transferred my current credits that they said are going to transfer to their school, then I would still have like 8 classes I need to take because of the community college's associates requirements. Plus, getting an associates from a community college guarantees admission to a state University I'm wanting to go to. If I do go to the community college, it will take more of my remaining funds, and I wouldnt have enough to finish a bachelors at the university I'm looking at. In conclusion, I could stay with APU and get a bachelors degree, or expend the rest of my funding to get an associates at a community college, and take a chance on transferring to a state university (without guranteed funding to finish the bachelors program). I guess my question is is a brick and mortar associates degree more employable than an online associates degree? I know about the studies and stuff. My bottom line is that unfortunately, online degrees from strictly online schools like APU are frowned upon in the job market. What do you recommend; online Bachelors, or brick and mortar associates?
