What is an American community college?
Community colleges in America can be called two-year universities.

There are two main courses offered by community colleges: one is transfer courses, which are specially offered for students who want to continue to apply for four-year universities. Students can take general education courses in the first two years of college in community colleges, and the credits they have taken are recognized by four-year universities. According to the different grades of students, they can directly transfer to different four-year universities to study the courses in the next two years and successfully get their undergraduate degrees. Therefore, community colleges usually provide a good springboard for those students who have no time to prepare for language exams, so that they can jump into well-known four-year universities. The second category is vocational courses, which usually serve future jobs and are not suitable for China students.

As an important part of American higher education, community college aims at popularizing education, so the threshold is low, and it is a good choice for students without s at and language scores. In addition, all these schools have language courses to strengthen students' language ability.

At the same time, community colleges provide students with another affordable choice because of their flexible opening hours and low fees.
