One of the interesting facts about community or two-year colleges is that more Americans are enrolled in a community college than a four-year university or college. Community colleges are both a popular and wise choice for Americans and international students in that they offer distinct advantages over four-year universities or colleges for many reasons. The benefits at Johnson County Community College (JCCC) include:

• Low-cost tuition
• Completion of the first two years of a four-year bachelor's degree program
• Most credits transferable to a four-year university to complete the last two years of your degree
• Easy, open admission
