Following video gives information on easier access and low-cost of education at community colleges in the United States.
First two years of study at community college to transfer to university
Most foreign students prefer to go to community colleges for the first two years and transfer their credits to a university to get their Bachelor’s Degree diploma from an American university. Even many American students who do not have much money start with community colleges to lower their higher education.
Easier acceptance by community colleges
Most community colleges have TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or ACT (American College Test) requirements lower than those required by universities in the United States.
Many community colleges accept your application even before you take TOEFL and postpone it to a date when you are ready. In the meantime, you may attend English as a Second Language (ESL) courses to improve your English language and take the tests when you feel that you are ready.
How can you lower your tuition to study in United States?
First, check if the community college has a “transfer agreement” with universities. Second, make sure the credits of the courses that you will take are transferable. Some courses may not be transferable if they are not in the curriculum of the university that you want to continue your education.
In California, for instance, more than 50 percent of Bachelor’s Degrees are awarded to students who transferred their credits to those universities. So, consider community colleges if you want easier acceptance and less expensive education in the United States.
