Adult education, continuous learning; Teaching of special educational needs

Combining research with firsthand experience, Community College Is College demystifies–and destigmatizes–the community college sector.

This practical and accessible resource presents community colleges as an option where students who have been identified as high achieving can receive an excellent postsecondary education, often in preparation for transfer to a four-year institution or entry into a high-demand career.

Covering topics such as the mission of the community college, dual enrollment, tuition and fees, transfer and career opportunities, this book is a must-read for high school counselors, parents, and caregivers committed to providing students with a complete understanding of the higher education educational options available to them.
