College Preparation

Preparing for college begins in high school.

Before you explore, determine the following:
1. What is the student's goal after high school?
2. Does that goal require higher education or trade school?
3. How will the student's post-high school plan be financed?


Community Colleges

California Community Colleges
Community college classes can be taken for dual enrollment  credit beginning in high school.
An Associate of Arts (AA) degree and an Associate of Science (AS) degree are the most common types of two-year programs offered through community colleges.  They offer a strong foundation in general subjects such as writing, humanities, and social sciences.  Trade courses also teach key career skills.
An Associate's degree is often used as a building block in transferring to a university in order to earn a Bachelor's Degree.
