Community colleges in the United States have a long tradition of contributing to the strength of their local communities. Founded in 1901, Joliet Junior College in Illinois is the oldest existing public two-year college, and the community college system has grown ever since. Joliet expanded to offer business programs back in the 1920s and 30s, and is an example of how community colleges adapt to the needs of the communities they serve. Today's national network of over 1,100 community colleges means you have a lot of options when it comes to choosing a community college business program.
But it's important not to get confused: community colleges may go by different titles including institute, technical college, community college, junior college or simply college. They may be public or private, faith-affiliated or secular. They also vary in their academic focus, and you can find business programs at community colleges that offer general education in a variety of fields, or you can apply to a school that specializes in business. However, community colleges in the US share the goal of responding to the training needs of vocationally-oriented secondary school graduates. With associate's and sometimes bachelor's degrees, as well as both academic and pre-professional diplomas and certificates, a community college in the US is a great option for building your future.
