In 2009, over 270,000 students enrolled in college credit courses at these institutions throughout Ohio. Two-year colleges consist of three types: technical, state community, and community. Technical colleges provide hands-on education in a specific field. Many technical college graduates transfer to baccalaureate programs. Both state community and community colleges offer technical programs and university parallel programs providing students with a variety of options. Students who choose to begin their college careers at a two-year college cite quality of education and reasonable cost as the main benefits. Completing the first two years of a bachelor s degree at a twoyear college can save the student several thousand dollars. A variety of technical, career-oriented degrees offered by two-year colleges can lead to employment immediately after the student completes his/her associate degree.
