Benefits of Community College Completion
Consider the benefits of earning an associate in arts or associate in science degree:
- 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.
- 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.
- Some four-year college and universities offer special privileges to PPCC graduates including scholarships and reduced or free application fees.
