Starting at a community college and transferring to a four-year university is one of the smartest ways to earn a U.S. degree on a budget. Your diploma comes from the university you transfer to — not the community college.

Why it saves so much

Community-college tuition is a fraction of university tuition, yet your first two years of credits transfer toward the same bachelor degree.

The 2+2 pathway can cut the cost of a U.S. bachelor degree by hundreds of millions of dong.

AAE helps you pick community colleges with strong transfer agreements to the universities you are aiming for.
