Community College Resources

Did you know that about eighty percent of college students change their majors at least once? Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars trying to make a decision at a high tuition, four-year university, consider New Jersey’s outstanding community colleges. Community colleges offer a top-notch education at an affordable price.

Community colleges offer flexible schedules, smaller class sizes, qualified professors and support staff, extracurricular activities and athletics. Explore a wide range of major and career options. Earn college credits while deciding the best career route for you.

So start college the smart way – save money and time while getting a solid education at New Jersey’s 19 community colleges.
