Before you start applying

Have you given thought to the advantages of starting your education at a 2-year community college?

Cost of Tuition > The average community college is 2 thousand dollars less a year than a university. Flexible Schedule > If you are planning to work while attending school community college is the best option. They offer far more night classes than universities and more schedule options.

Opportunity to explore major options > Instead of spending thousands of dollars at a private university towards a major that you are less than sure of, consider attending a community school while you are making your decision. Classes cost less, so you will have the opportunity to explore interests that you might not have otherwise pursued. Smaller Classes > Class sizes can be as small as 15 students. 1 Colorado Community Colleges offer guaranteed in-state transfer courses > Meaning that credit from these courses must be

excepted by every state funded university in Colorado. (Note: Only certain courses are guaranteed to transfer, check with the college to make sure you are choosing classes that will transfer.)
