Are the General Education classes at a Junior College the same as at a 4 year college?

The first few years at a 4 year college consist mainly of general ed classes that everyone is required to take, right?


Do they differ in any way say at a prestigious University to a JC ?


I heard JC saves alot of money for primarily the same education.


Oppinions?|||Yes the differ, general education classes are easier at a junior college but they count for the same thing. I went straight to a 4 year college and some of my friends went to a junior college, same credits, same ideas, but MUCH easier tests, quizes and homework. Plus they saved a lot of money. Just make sure that your junior credits will transfer to the 4 year college of your choice. If they don't you will have to retake them.|||Usually all your gen ed classes transfer but it really depends on the university that you are transfering to to decide what they will accept. Another way to save money is to check into CLEP courses. You take a test and if you pass you receive college credit without actually attending the class. Good luck.
