Plan your jump to a four-year school at CollegeFish.org
Known for their affordability and the ease with which their credits usually transfer to four-year institutions, community colleges are a popular higher-education choice among service members.
The transfer to a four-year school can be even easier if you choose carefully. Education counselors can help you evaluate your options to an extent, but they might not have the time or resources to help every single transfer student.
Enter a new tool from Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of two-year colleges. Last fall, Phi Theta Kappa began testing a free Web site called CollegeFish.org, which collects information from community college students looking to transfer and analyzes it to generate a list of five colleges that would provide good fit for each student. The site is available to all community college students, not just members of Phi Theta Kappa.
