Why attend TCC?
A community college is an ideal choice if you're an international student. We have affordable out-of-country tuition and small class sizes. With 6 campuses to choose from, TCC has many advantages:
- Smaller class sizes
- Individualized attention from professors
- Lower tuition cost
- Class credit transferable to 4-year universities
- Ideal environment to adapt to American academic practices
Many international students attend TCC to earn an associate degree and then transfer to a 4-year university in the United States to earn their bachelor's degree.
