Community Colleges
Public Two Year College
One factor consideration in choosing a college for many students is the choice between a two-year and a four-year college. If attending a traditional 4 year college appears too expensive or time consuming but you still want to upgrade your skills or earn more, community college may be the practical, economic solution you are looking for.

Louisiana Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)

Louisiana Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and Institutes

The State of Louisiana administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Louisiana, sometimes called Louisiana junior colleges, or Louisiana technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Louisiana colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in Louisiana. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Louisiana local community

Louisiana has not had a strong history of community colleges. For many years, there was only one free-standing comprehensive community college in New Orleans. Three other two-year institutions operated as branch campuses of various universities across the state, and two additional two-year institutions were governed by local parish school boards. In addition to the two-year institutions, 43 postsecondary vocational-technical schools were governed by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. In 1998, the legislature proposed a sweeping constitutional amendment that was ratified by state voters, creating a new Louisiana Technical and Community College System aimed at building a workforce for the next century.
