PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES: FUNDED BY A COMBINATION OF ENDOWMENTS, TUITION FEES, RESEARCH GRANTS, AND GIFTS FROM THEIR ALUMNI. TUITION FEES TEND TO BE HIGHER BUT THERE IS NO DISTINCTION MADE BETWEEN STATE AND NON-STATE RESIDENTS. COMMUNITY COLLEGES: PROVIDE TWO-YEAR ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS EXCELLENT TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THEY ARE COMMUNITY-BASED INSTITUTIONS WITH CLOSE LINKS TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND EMPLOYERS, AND MANY, US STUDENTS LIVE CLOSE TO CAMPUS WITH THEIR FAMILIES. COMMUNITY COLLEGES CAN BE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS, AND ARE SOMETIMES CALLED JUNIOR COLLEGES OR TWO-YEAR COLLEGES. TUTIONS COSTS ARE OFTEN LOWER AT TWO-YEAR THAN AT FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS, AND MANY HAVE AGREEMENTS TO ALLOW STUDENTS ON TRANSFER PROGRAMS TO MOVE EASILY INTO THE THIRD YEAR OF A BECHELOR’S DEGREE AT THE LOCAL STATE UNIVERSITY.
