<p>Starting at a CC may actually be advantageous in this situation, since it will give him time to explore various subjects at the introductory college level without being “on the clock” to declare a major or graduate as he would at a four year school, since CC is much less expensive (extra semesters at a CC won’t cost as much as at a four year school) and would not have administrative requirements to declare a major by a certain deadline. Once decided, he can then finish remaining pre-transfer requirements for that major and then transfer to complete a bachelor’s degree at a four year school in two years.</p>
<p>Of course, evaluating this option also requires checking whether the CC and SUNY prices are acceptable, and whether the local CC offers the transferable courses of interest and is not overflowing in enrollment.</p>
