Which community college has the best biology program ?
I can’t speak for California in general (sorry I’m a Brooklynite) but your best bet is to actually research the professors who teach there. First, you must find out who is adjunct and who is a full professor (one is basicly a temp teacher, the other hired to staff and usually better acredited) and do they continue to publish. You will do better at a Community College afiliated with a University. For instance, many CC’s in NYC are affiliated with the City University Program. That means, even if the professor teaches at a CC, he still has graduate students and does research. Don’t worry so much about the course offering. It’s more important to get a good teacher than a variety of courses. A good teacher, with a good reputation and connections will help a good student out. Furthermore, every CC offers the basics at least which is much more important.
