One thought on “Vast majority of Indiana community college students don’t end up with 4-year degrees

  1. The Community College route to a degree is a very viable alternative. You need to pay attention to details, communicate with your counselors and undertake the process with a purpose and the end goal firmly in mind. Even if you stop with an associate degree you’re ahead of where you started and have learned some life lessons.
