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.

Nebraska Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)

Nebraska Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and Institutes

The State of Nebraska administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Nebraska, sometimes called Nebraska junior colleges, or Nebraska technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Nebraska 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 Nebraska. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Nebraska local community

Community colleges in Nebraska evolved from a combination of a local junior college, state vocational/technical colleges and area vocational/technical schools. In 1971, the Nebraska Legislature pulled these varied postsecondary institutions into a single system of two-year colleges, and in 1975, established six community college areas, four of which have multiple campuses. In 1993, the legislature revised and expanded the colleges' original role and mission of occupational education and created comprehensive community colleges. In addition to the six community college areas, the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture is an associate degree-granting branch of the University of Nebraska. Nebraska also has two federally supported tribal colleges.
