Community College of Vermont Previews: An e-Newsletter for Future CCV Students

Why a Community College?

There are dozens of reasons why students choose community colleges and ways they use them to achieve their goals. Here are several of the most common ones…

  • Get a job

    Many of CCV’s certificate and degree programs - such as accounting, childcare, criminal justice, and graphic design, to name just a few—give the skills you need to obtain a good job.

  • Transfer

    CCV classes transfer easily to many bachelor’s programs, so you can stay close to home, work, and save money while you’re taking CCV classes and preparing for transfer.

  • Save money

    Community colleges are one of the best values in higher education. Tuition is affordable, financial aid is available, and you can save dollars you might have spent on food and housing at a residential college.

  • Expand your options

    A community college is a great way to explore subjects that interest you, find out more about careers and degree programs, and just get your feet wet before committing to a full-time program.
