Our own research, projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and feedback from the businesses who hire our graduates indicate the greatest educational need is not a choice between a high school degree alone or a bachelor's degree, but somewhere in between. It's also why there are a growing number of certification programs offered at community colleges that many universities will not accept for transfer but that are in high demand and critical to the success of major U.S. industries. The strength of higher education in this country is that students have choice.
Many roads lead to personal and career success.
Increasingly that road leads to the door of one of 1,100 reasonably priced, market-responsive community colleges.
