two-year college
Community college type
A two-year college is an institution of higher education that offers programs typically completed in two years, most commonly awarding associate degrees or vocational certificates rather than bachelor's degrees.
Community colleges are the most familiar type.
Students may attend a two-year college to prepare for transfer to a four-year university, to gain job-specific training, or to take classes at lower cost.
