Ƶ Community College is an excellent choice for U.S Veterans seeking to transition into sustainable careers, or transfer to four-year institutions. For more than six decades we have been rewarding our nation’s soldiers with high quality instruction, academic and counseling support services, and a vibrant, supportive college environment.
Ƶ credits transfer to many four-year institutions around the nation, with many of our Veteran students choosing the transfer option.
