12月19日 周一 18:30 重新認識美國社區大學

Monday, December 19, 18:30 Why You Should Consider Attending A Community College in the U.S.

根據美國社區大學協會（American Association of Community Colleges, AACC）的數據，2013年，約有740萬學生進入美國社區大學學習。美國社區大學提供兩年制的副學士學位（Associate Degree），學生可選擇的課程非常廣泛。在得到副學士學位證書後，很多學生會選擇轉入四年制的大學進行學習。近來的一個趨勢是，越來越多的國際學生將社區大學作為海外留學的選擇之一。就這個話題，EducationUSA Shanghai 請到了美國加州喜瑞都大學的 Kenny Lou 教授和大家分享如何選擇合適的社區大學、申請流程、如何尋找助學金、校園生活等話題。

According to the American Association of Community Colleges, about 7.4 million students were enrolled in community college in 2013. Studying at a community college, which grant Associate』s Degrees after two years, can give students the opportunity to learn about a wide array of subjects. After earning their Associate』s degree, many students even go on to transfer to top 4-year universities. Increasingly, international students are also looking at community colleges as an option for their study abroad experience. To help explain more, EducationUSA Shanghai is pleased to host Cerritos College Professor Kenny Lou for a discussion about how to find the right community college, how to apply, how to search for financial aid, as well stories about campus life.
