Avoid "Diploma Mills"
Diploma mills, or degree mills, are fraudulent "colleges" that offer potential students degrees requiring little or no serious work. These "colleges" are not legitimate or accredited. Learn more about diploma mills at the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

You can take your first two years of college at a community college and then transfer to a four-year college or university to complete your degree. Community colleges, like technical colleges, also offer career programs leading directly to a job.
