Community College
If you have a high school diploma or the equivalent, you can go to a community college, or junior college. These two-year, public colleges can help you further your education, prepare you for a four-year college, or focus on a particular trade for a specific job. You can earn a certificate in a specific area of study, or earn an associate’s degree when completing a two-year program. To help save money, you can complete your required general courses at a community college and then transfer those credits to a four-year college to finish your degree.
