چکیده
In many respects, the distinctions between community colleges and proprietary schools are few. Proprietary schools (also referred to as career colleges and for-profit colleges) feature an array of vocational, technical, and business programming, as well as provide opportunities to complete general education courses (Hittman, 1995). Similarly, given that the mission of community colleges is to provide comprehensive educational programming, students have the option of choosing from a multitude of academic offerings, including terminal degrees (certificates, associates), vocational-technical education, and continuing education (e.g., job skills training) (Nevarez & Wood, 2010; Tillery & Deegan, 1985; Vaughan, 2006).
