   How it compares

   In the United States, Shoreline Community College is one of 2,515 universities and colleges, but it stands apart as a community college rather than a large university. Its offer is narrower than a comprehensive university’s, with 14 programmes and only one bachelor's degree program, so it is a fit for students who want a defined set of practical study options.
