Each U.S. university and college sets its own admission standards and decides which applicants meet those standards. Therefore, you must apply separately to each university or college, and a longer preparation period will be expected. Gradsmate can help you and we promise for a quick processing time for your applications. You can also visit MACEE for some insights.

Community colleges – a common term and education system in the United States offer two-year programs leading to the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree. These colleges also have technical and vocational programs with close links to secondary/high schools, community groups, and employers in the local community.

Undergraduate students studying at community colleges can earn academic credit towards a bachelor’s degree. Community colleges may have a more flexible admissions process and usually less expensive.

Community colleges and 4-year colleges and universities often develop special agreements for the transfer of credits and degrees between the institutions. In this “2+2 process,” you can earn a bachelor’s degree with two years of community college, followed by two years of university study.
