How Two-Year College Can Be Better Than Four Year Universities

Introduction

Education is the asset, youth of any country needs to become independent. In a developed country like United States of America, youth is facing the dilemma of opting for the careers that could help them become successful in the future. When many options are provided, it often becomes hard to opt for the right and most effective choice, especially when the matter is related to education. The problematic situation youngsters these days are going through is whether to opt for 2 years' college degree of bachelors or the four years' specialization program of bachelors. To develop an interest in both the sides is hard especially when the expenses can be managed without any help from upgradation in education. Many surveys have reported that Americans resist going to colleges after high school and they stop their studies there. This resistance to education can have many reasons and it is made more complicated when the issue of two and four years' bachelor's degree arises. Two years’ education from any community college is not seen as a proper qualification and is degraded when compared with the four years' program. This essay will explore the reasons for the effectiveness of two years' bachelor's degree and the importance of two years' college over the four years in universities. The aim of this essay is to explore the ways in which the two years of college can have better opportunities to offer than the four years in universities.

Thesis Statement

Two years of community college is more effective for students to pursue their working career than the four years’ program of universities.

Discussion

America currently is facing the major problem of unemployment which is due to the lack of education. There is no scarcity of provision of good quality education in America, in fact, the high-level of education in America is in abundance but still, youth lack motivation to pursue further education. Americans live a life full of happenings and in this busy routine, they fail to give time to their education. Most of the American citizens quit education after high school because they do not find a need for education. Another reason for the resistance to advanced education is the confusion created by society for the two kinds of bachelor's education. One being the two years’ degree from the community colleges that are treated like a diploma or certification and the other being the four years’ degree program from the universities. 2 years’ bachelor is not considered a better option for the students especially when they can opt for a better option in the form of 4 years major in bachelors from universities. But the point of consideration here is that, in the country where youth does not give a focus to education at all, their preference for four years’ bachelors will leave doubt as well.

Two years spent in community college exploring the major for the four-year bachelors in university is the most rational decision to make than choosing the otherwise from a student's point of view. Community colleges offer the variation in the subjects that are not there in the specialization of one particular subject in universities. Students normally do not have enough finance to manage their studies and this is why they quit education to earn a little extra money to support themselves. Private universities charge a very handsome amount per semester which is not easy to pay by every student. Although public universities have options for funding, but they set high requirements for the students to attain that opportunity. University education bounds them for almost four years in the degree program and during that time they lose interest in the studies and drop out. In the two years of college education, they manage to maintain the academic stability they need for work. Colleges have fewer fees as compared to the universities and they are affordable when it comes to financial assistance. Community colleges education structure are designed in a way that it always supports the situation of the students related to his work and family life. The timing and courses can easily be adjusted and the college processing is very flexible when it comes to accommodating students who have generic problems. Majority of the students attend the community colleges for the reason to meet the basic education requirements needed for their current college and to obtain an associate degree. One more benefit of inclination towards a college degree is that course credits can easily be transferred to the universities if the student wishes to continue his studies later in his life. The academic quality of the colleges is also much better than that of the university's education as the faculty is more efficient. The problem with the university bachelor’s degree is that, students after receiving the degree struggle more than the students with 2 years’ college bachelor's degree because some jobs do not need many qualifications, rather a high school diploma with education less than bachelors. This creates a problem for university students because they then become overqualified for middle skills jobs.

Summary

The community colleges have more opportunities to offer for the American students than the four years' program of the universities. Community colleges are more suited if the students are interested in pursuing careers in technical fields. Credits can easily be transferred from college to the university which makes the colleges more flexible and accessible for the students. Two years' program gives the student the chance to switch to any field he likes to make his profession successful. Two years' college education polishes the student to make him ready for either the working life or the life he has chosen in the university. Colleges do not bound the students for a longer period of time as universities that is why they can be considered as the more suitable option to receive education after high school.
