Nice in theory, but maybe not as nice in practice.
They tell you "do the first 2 years at the CC, then do the last 2 years at the University".
What actually seems to happen is: "Spend at least 3 years making your way through CC, then somehow still take another 4 years to finish at the University."
Students who can actually manage to complete the 2+2 may be better off just doing the 4 at the University. (And might actually do it in less, due to AP credits and other things.)

Because going to CC and then moving on to University in 4 years total is exactly what my sister, and grad school advisor did. His path was particularly good, going CC -> State University -> Ivy League PhD.
- jerf 7y agoIf you're going that path, you have to be careful. Double and triple check that your target University is going to accept the credits you think they're going to accept, at the values you think they're going to accept them. Preferably ask them directly, by specific course, and getting it in writing might not be out of line. I've personally known people to pull off the 2+2 as well, but I've also personally known people who basically had the University look at their two years at CC, pat them on the head, and told them they get basically no credits because they didn't accept the level of courses involved.
