(Problem) Community colleges in California help students transfer to universities, enter the labor force, and/or promote within their current field of occupation. One of the greatest threats community colleges in the state encounter is losing their accreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). The ACCJC is one of several accrediting agencies in the US that strives to hold community colleges accountable by periodically assessing and accrediting them.…

For years, community groups, neighborhood organizations, and concerned residents from all walks of life have been working to make their communities healthier. They have fought against the closing of local hospitals, pushed for increased funding for clinics, and developed new programs to address the needs of the underserved. Their work, grounded in the history and experience of efforts to effect social change, offers valuable lessons we can use to improve the quality of health care in our own…

Formal Analysis: David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock is an oil on canvas piece by the artist Alice Neel.

The general argument made by Carol Roth in the article “Free Community College Isn’t Free...and it’s a Bad Idea” is that saying that college will be free when it really won’t, and it will cause more problems and evidently not solve any current problems. She states that nothing is really ever free because there…

Not including America, but some countries do offer the first two years free. In America the first two years of community college, for low-income students should be free, because all students that gained a diploma or GED are not fortunate enough to make it to college, low-income Americans make less…

Traveled Makes All the Difference In the words of Liz Addison’s essay, “Two Years Are Better Than Four,” she emphasizes the benefits of community college before attending a university, saying “The philosophy of the community college and I have been to two of them, is one that unconditionally allows its student to begin.” In Addison’s essay, she explains that the community college system is the better route to take than attending a four year university program right away as many people do right…

Do you ever just get on a social network and post about how you are doing or where you are at and what you are doing that day? Many of us are guilty of this, but very few to none think about any of the consequences. Whatever the reason may be for one to have a social network, my research shows we need to pay closer attention to what we post; we have no control over who can really see our profiles. Everyone needs to understand the good and the bad consequences of having social networks. Weigh out…

students will log on to their schools website and register for classes. Some go to college because it is expected of them. Some do it because they want a good job, while others go to college because they love knowledge. There are vocational schools, community colleges and four year universities. The one thing they all have in common is; they cost money. After paying tuition a student must now pay for books, food, supplies and rent. For many this is too much and they drop out (Casselman, Ben).…

Free college/university Studying at a college/university here in the United States can cost a life full of debt. Being able to study should not cost any money. Depending on the college that is attended to, tuition varies, a contributive factor of this tuition is if you’re an in-state or out of-state resident. Most of college students start at the young age of 17 or 18, and most of them don’t have the right knowledge to start getting into economic debt. The years passes and college tuition rises,…
