Community Colleges in King County, Washington

A community or junior college, as they are called in many states, is generally a two-year college that offers diplomas or associate's degrees in a wide range of courses. While community colleges offer much of the same courses found at a four-year college, many offer practical or technical courses that prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce. Some of the more popular courses at the community college level include nursing, law enforcement and automotive mechanics. At many community colleges, credits can be transferred to a four-year university toward completion of a bachelor's degree.
