Benefits of Community College Completion

Consider the benefits of earning an associate in arts or associate in science degree:

1. Pikes Peak Community College’s tuition rate is approximately 1/3 of the cost of most public four-year colleges and universities in Colorado.   As the cost of higher education escalates, the option of spending less becomes more and more appealing.
2. Completion of a degree shows success at the college level.    Studies show that Community College transfer students are as successful or more successful than their fellow native baccalaureate counterparts.
3. Some four-year college and universities offer special privileges to PPCC graduates including scholarships and reduced or free application fees.
