California Community College fees (per unit of credit) https://www.cccco.edu/About-Us/Key-Facts

The CCs issue “Associate of Arts” and “Associate of Science” degrees. But also, many graduates then transfer to CSU or UC campuses to complete higher levels of degrees. It’s actually pretty neat.

At the CC level, prices are low enough that people can earn multiple degrees, because they need not worry that they cannot earn enough to justify the costs.

In California, at least, CC campuses also provide vocational training (with their own certificates). Sometimes, they do this in partnership with the local school district (which sometimes have “adult schools” that offer high school completion and vocational programs). @clacke
