American public two-year colleges. Open to all young people and adults who have graduated from high school, and generally free of charge and open to all applicants, they are also known as open door colleges. Classes are held during the day and at night, and there are three courses: (1) courses for transferring to a four-year university, (2) vocational courses for acquiring various qualifications, and (3) community service courses to meet the learning needs of local residents. Historically, junior colleges developed in the early 20th century, especially in the 1920s, and were popularized, but they expanded dramatically after the Higher Education Act of 1965.
