What is the difference between community college and career college?

Answer 1

A college major is simply the area of specialization you choose to get your bachelors degree in. A bachelors degree is a requirement for many jobs today. The line of work you decide to get into and remain in after graduation is your career. Your major and the career you go into do not necessarily have to be in the same field. While some majors (such as Nursing) lead directly into a career, many jobs today only require a bachelors degree of some kind, it doesn't matter in what field. The major you decide to graduate with should be a reflection of your academic strengths and interests. The important thing employers look for is your ability to complete a higher education program of study.

Answer 2

If you take a degree through a regionally accredited community college, the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Career schools typically do not have this preferred accreditation which will present a number of problems with other schools should you wish to continue your education, and also problems with many employers. The private career schools are much more expensive and are typically a for-profit business. I would strongly recommend you take your degree through a community college.
