A community college can be an excellent option for what you have described here. Many community colleges now offer online courses and programs so this is also an option. If you want to get a Bachelor's in business or finance many community colleges have options that can help you out. Some possible programs could be: an Associate in Arts (AA) degree. This is a basic two year degree that covers most general education requirements for a four year college or university. If you go to a public two year colleges and then a state university or college chances are it will transfer as a package (although this depends on the school or system). an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree. These tend to be attached to a more structured two year program. in your case an AAS or AS degree in something like Accounting, Business Management or Human Resources Management might be a good start. When you look into two year programs I would recommend talking to a transfer specialist or similar person at the two year school about any agreements they have with four year schools. Once you complete the two year program and move on to the four year program they will be able to advise you about your options related to graduate study at the Master's level. With the type of program you are looking at there is a lot to be gained by taking a break between programs. There are lots of resources for researching two year schools. Since you haven't mentioned your state here are two resources that are good nationally: www.aacc.nche.edu/Content/NavigationMenu/AboutCommunityColleges/CommunityCollegeFinder1/Community_College_Finder.htm www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/cc/
