<p>How much are community colleges classes worth?
Are they considered equivalent to AP Level?</p>
<p>Personally, I've taken 6 community college classes and the level is comparable to AP courses.</p>
<p>community colleges are pieces of *<strong><em>. especially easy courses like java, c++, concepts of physics, and principles of macroeconomics. AP level? are you *</em></strong>ing kidding me? they're even easier than regular high school courses. if you want a professional opinion you should ask your high school counselor. they are so smart and helpful. you should always trust them. they are the best</p>
<p>If both AP and community college classes are offered at your school, imho AP would have a much better edge. Students in AP classes are tested on the knowledge they should have covered with a national exam, which is an useful meterstick to determine the abilities of the student for that study. A college might find it difficult to weigh the same abilities of a student who took the community college class... if that makes sense. However, if your hs doesn't offer AP classes, going to a community college to receive "higher education" (at least above hs level) illustrates some self motivation and dedication.</p>
<p>"How much are community college classes worth?"</p>
<p>What do you mean? How much are they worth on a highschooler's college application, or how much are they worth in terms of transfer credits?</p>
<p>I disagree...I took AP classes throughout high school and also took CC classes. I could tell no difference in difficulty.</p>
<p>What exactly are "community college classes?"</p>
<p>I currently taking a second year undergrad course at a top university in our city. Does that count as a "community college class?" I am quite certain after 2 weeks of studying that this undergrad course (Political Philosophy and International Politics) is anything BUT easy. 20 page thesis paper due in 5 days, midterm on Monday, and Final Exam within a week. by the way I'm also a rising senior.</p>
<p>Jimmy@Killarney: A community college is not just any college in your community, but rather a specific type of institution. It is largely dedicated to two-year degrees, technical certificates, continuing education classes, GED courses, etc., emphasizing practical job training rather than liberal arts academics (they offer academic courses too, but these are not their main focus). </p>
<p>You are enrolled in a four-year university, not a community college.</p>
<p>Hey.. I'm taking a Principles of Macroeconomics 4 credit course online at Northeastern. Does the fact that its online put it on the same level as a community college course or is it still looked at as better than a community college?</p>
<p>yeah sai2204. if you think the classes you take are AP level why don't you take the damn AP exams? colleges will be like ***!!!!!!!! HE TOOK AP LEVEL CLASSES BUT NOT THE AP TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
