School Notes
Students benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized
attention from dedicated faculty and staff. Coastline offers
certificates and A.A/A.S. transfer degree programs for students.
Online students recieve the same support as on-site student, with
family and or work obligations, our students have options on course
length and start date to personalize their schedule and goals.
No matter where you choose to go to college you'll have to take some kind of standardized test. The GRE is often required for graduate programs, but it may also benefit your community college application.
Education becomes more expensive with each passing year so it is important to make smart use of your student loans and to minimize your debt while you are in school whenever possible.
