Which Path is Best for You?

Certificate Programs offer a college certificate and college credit in your chosen field of study, and can be completed in one year. Students take regular college courses, but without the general education requirements needed for a full diploma. Certificates are available in a wide variety of fields, including Business and Management, Education, and various Health and Science fields.

Community Colleges with Transfer are the easiest and most economical way for students to begin their college and university degree program. Community colleges feature ease of entry, small class sizes, and tuition of about half the cost of a state or private university. Students study for two years in a community college and then transfer all credits to a state university to complete their degree.

Universities for undergraduate and graduate programs offer outstanding facilities and large student bodies. For students that want post-graduate degrees, such as an MBA or other Master’s degree, these universities are the top choice. The application process can be more involved, and our expert team will guide you every step of the way.
