BPCC
(Bossier Parish Community College)
The costs of community colleges are much lower than four-year universities and offer associate degrees and certificates. Most associate degrees focus on career readiness—others are good at preparing one for a four-year university. They also are open admission, allowing one to explore various subjects before committing to a program, and allows one to enter the workforce sooner.
Community colleges are the way of the future. Now with people losing their jobs, they’re a great place to go for new training. They lead the way in preparing graduates in the fields of green technology, healthcare, teaching and information technology—some of the fastest growing fields in America and the rest of the world.
