Four-Year College
Four-year colleges can provide a broad range of classes and educational experiences, along with in-depth courses specific to your child's chosen major or minor (the degree’s primary or secondary area of concentration). These institutions generally offer Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees, and prepare students for careers. Common fields of study include business, communications, economics, engineering, English literature, science, history, political science, foreign language and more. A degree from a four-year college may also allow your child to do advanced studies to earn a master’s or doctoral degree; or to later specialize in medicine, law, architecture, social work, etc. Four-year colleges may be public or private and are generally more expensive than community, technical and vocational colleges.
