Cuyahoga Community College District, known as "Tri-C," is a two-year community college in Ohio. Tri-C is ranked 45th in the United States in conferring associate's degrees. It offers associate's degrees in numerous programs of study, and more than 140 career and vocational training certificates through its "Corporate College" program.
Tri-C has campuses throughout Ohio offering 130 courses, and more than 700 distance learning (online) courses are also offered. Tri-C partners with many four-year colleges and universities so that students can transfer their credits directly to another institution. Tri-C partners with several online colleges as well, so that online credits or an online degree earned from Tri-C is transferable to degree programs at other online institutions of higher learning.
Tri-C also accepts credits that have been earned at other institutions, and its "Agency to College Pathways" program helps students determine which credits they may apply towards a Tri-C associate's degree, professional certificate or other study program. Tri-C is also helpful in guiding students who are returning to school after military service.
