School graduates can get a quick vocational education in

community colleges. Studying in one of them lasts two years. The

workload is slightly lower than at universities, and a heavy emphasis
is put on practical skills. In colleges, the student receives
an associate degree and gets a job in the specialty.
Another option after community college is to transfer immediately to
the third year of a university. To do this, you must have a GPA of 3.5
out of 4, while all grades in specialty subjects must be excellent.
Foreigners are sometimes required to
provide TOEFL and SAT certificates.
Trying to transfer to Harvard or Yale from a community college will not
work, but other mid-level universities will be available. Many
community colleges sign guaranteed enrollment agreements with
universities. For example, after Bergen community college, you can
transfer to New York University. For information about agreements
between universities and exact programs available for study transfer,
