COMMUNITY COLLGES
Often times a community college is the stepping stone between high school and 4-year university. In fact, almost half of the undergraduate students in the United States are served by community colleges according to the American Association of Community Colleges. Other times students solely seek an Associates degree, certificate, professional development, or noncredit enrichment and cultural activities. Whether the community college student seeks to purse a degree in order to compete and excel in the workplace or they are taking classes for any other number of reasons, the Metroplex has six Community College Districts to accommodate their needs. Furthermore, meeting your educational requirements at a community college is very affordable when compared to university costs.
