Question

Cutting down on costs by earning an Associate’s degree first and then transferring to a four-year college or university can be done by going to what type of higher education institution?
A local community college.
A trade school.
A specialized training program.
Both b and c are correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Local \ community \ college}}$

Explanation:

Local community colleges are a great option because they provide a foundation of education. They offer courses that are equivalent to a four-year college/university's, but at much lower costs. This type of education allows you to earn a 2 year Associate's degree.

You can decide your path after, but many people choose to transfer to another four-year college/university. When they transfer, the 2 years at the community college counts as 2 years at the chosen institution, so they enter as a junior.

Trade schools and training programs offer valuable education, but typically not Associate's degrees.

So, the best answer is choice A. Local community college
