Why Community College? – Final Research Essay

In his book Why School?, Mike Rose explores the essential role public education plays in American society. Public community colleges play a vital role in this system, offering access to many students who wouldn’t be able to afford or qualify for higher education if community colleges did not exist.

In a 5-7 page research essay in MLA style (proper parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page), discuss, using Rose as a model, why community college? What do you think should be the role of community colleges in our communities and what has been your experience as student thus far? What are their strengths and weaknesses? If you were in charge what would colleges look like; what courses would be offered, how would they be taught and by whom; who would be studying there and for how long; what should community college cost and why? Use these questions to explore the topic. Don’t answer them like bullet points.
