According to Tyson Stevens, managing editor for EDsmart, “Community Colleges play a crucial role in preparing students for vocational and professional careers and for transfer to four-year universities. Two-year colleges provide an affordable option for students who cannot afford higher tuition costs of four-year institutions. New York community colleges stand as a great platform for launching students into four-year universities.”

EDsmart plans to release rankings of community colleges 11 through 20 in the coming weeks.
