it would be great if we could redirect everything here, make it a disambig, and go from there. there are many types of junior colleges and this would make a great disambig page. and the US difference of community and junior colleges needs to be stressed, as the discussion below shows of ignorance.
redirecting everything to one clearinghouse is probably the easiest answer, with specific pages for each type and detailed page titles so there is little to no confusion. sorry, but the US just can't have a monopoly on such a vague title page.
This article is not correct as it applies to the United States. In the U.S., while the term "junior college" has been largely replaced with the term " community college", a number of community colleges, such as Pensacola Junior College, continue to formally use the older term. In conversation, community colleges are often referred to as junior colleges. There is no difference between a school called a junior college and one called a community college. The term "junior college" is not limited to private schools or military academies. DS1953 01:05, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I don't agree with this characterization of Junior Colleges:
"Junior colleges originated in the Chautauqua movement in late 19th century New York State. By the turn of the century, groups from established colleges and universities would travel around the nation, visiting small towns that did not have access to upper level schools, to offer eight to ten week course on subjects such as the arts, science and literature."
Furthermore, there is no documentation of a causal link between what was essentially a traveling form of "Sunday School" entertainment, and what we now know as the "junior college" movement that began with William Rainer Harper of the University of Chicago. Gsmcghee 23:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
