hen considering the large number of choices available for higher education, the decision of where or how to attend college can seem overwhelming. In-state or out-of-state? On-line, face-to-face, or a combination of both? Public or private? 4-year or 2-year institution? While 4-year institutions make perfect sense for many students, the traditional schedule of moving directly from high school to a full-service university may not be the best decision for every student. According to the College Board, 4 of 10 graduating high school students are initially attending community colleges making them the fastest growing sector of postsecondary education.

This compares to most 2-year public community colleges where annual tuition for a fulltime student can be approximately $2,000. Tuition and fees at UNM-Gallup are $1,932 per year, for example.
