FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES

A four year college education, or bachelor’s degree (BA, BS), can open doors, provide status, and prepare students for financially rewarding careers. Four- year colleges vary in their size, costs, admission requirements, and in the majors they offer. All four- year colleges, however, want students who are prepared for college-level work.

Students who plan to go to a four-year college need to take college prep courses in high school. They also need to sign up for the right tests and complete the required forms.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Community colleges provide affordable, career-oriented programs that enable students to begin their careers after two years of college or less. Business, law enforcement, real estate, and engineering technology are just a few of the careers that students can prepare for by going to a community college. Students can also go to a community college, and then transfer to a four year college.

THE MILITARY

The military trains young men and women so they can serve and protect our country. The military offers qualified individuals a good salary and free job training. The military also provides discipline and structure, as well as opportunities for career advancement and travel. In addition to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, there are also opportunities in the Reserves and the National Guard.
