Get On Board With What Employers Want…… Good Attitude Communication Skills Work Ethic Team Work Presentation 5 Myths About Community Colleges Myth: Students only attend community colleges because they can’t get in to a four-year University Fact: Students attend community colleges for convenience, family, job, or financial considerations Myth: a degree from a community college is not as good as a university degree. Fact: community colleges can take you into work force or a four-year university. Myth: community colleges are inexpensive, so the education is not high quality. Fact: curriculum at a community college is often more in-depth and there is more open exchange between teachers and students Myth: community college credits do not transfer to four-year universities: Fact: Communication between community colleges and four-year universities are improving every day. Myth: Community colleges have low academic standards. Fact: Community colleges require placement testing and all programs have stringent standards that must be met.
