The CCs have the cost model worked out better than the universities, and can curb spending since they don't rely on public funds to support sports programs, sprawling administrations, large campuses, etc. It's about the courses and the students, and providing the most practical courses. I think it's an excellent way to deliver the basic general education and lower level courses of an undergraduate degree compared to taking them at a university because of this cost basis alone. Rethinking how we deliver lower level courses in the university, by either providing them online or through CC seems to be part of the answer to controlling higher education costs that are spiraling out of control as states cut funding to public universities.
