You have joined about 7 million other students enrolled in more than 1,400 two-year colleges in the United States. These colleges have one single goal: to help their students graduate and become successful in their future career or studies. Two-year colleges are a great starting point because they provide affordable and supportive environments where students can understand their strengths, work on their weaknesses, and grow into their future roles. If your goal is to start a career or change the one you already have, you have made the right choice to be at a two-year college. If you want to transfer to a four-year college or university to get a higher degree, you too have made the right choice to start at a two-year college.
