Are there other community colleges in surrounding towns that have your major? Try going to those.

Get a list of the requirements for the journalism major at the university you want to go to. What major offers those courses in communications at community college? Go to that department and ask to speak with a department head or go to your academic adviser. Give them the list and ask which major would fulfill the most requirements.

If different majors fulfil different requirements (i.e. if English fulfills 3 requirements and Political Science fulfills 3) major in the one you are more interested in. Good luck!

You need a university journalism program to work toward. Look up their program and find out what the requirements are. You may not be able to take acutal courses related to journalism but only about a third of your classes will be major classes anyhow. Try taking those basic classes needed for your major such as English, Math, History, and Sciences. The classes are much easier at the community college level so you will transfer in higher grades to a university! Just be sure to know how many hours you are allowed to transfer in towards graduation. Now in 18-24 you will be able to start at your inteded university journalism program and still graduate on time.
Community colleges are generally designed for you to fulfill the basic or breath university requirements, also known as lower division courses. You should talk to a counselor at the community college to find out the recommended courses to take that will prepare you for a transfer in two years. You should also identify the university you'd like to attend and set up an appointment with a counselor to get a list of their coursework requirements. Take the university requirement list back to your community college counselor and match them to the community college courses.

If you are interested in journalism, you can take some extra classes in basic journalism. But don't expect to spend your focus on a specific major during the first two years of school. You will be taking generic courses across a wide range of majors, including math, English, philosophy, sciences, etc.

Lastly, after your first year of community college, make sure you check your curriculum progress by setting up another appointment with the university counselor to see what courses you need to take in order to transfer.

Good luck and congrats on having a plan!
Talk to a student adviser at the community college you intend to attend. I am sure they will give you proper guidance.
Don't forget that you can often take classes from other schools through their extended learning (virtual) systems. You have to find out in advance if your cc will accept the credits and check with your future 4 year schools. The courses you'll be able to take through a community college are just your general courses. I took most of mine during the summer. Instead of taking 16 week courses, I did mine in 5 weeks. These were for subjects I knew would be easy for me. My harder classes I took in 16 week sessions.

If you are careful to plan everything out, you will not fall behind by going to a cc. I talked to a lot of people. Students, professors, my future 4 year school.. everybody.

One thing that will help you make it less confusing is map it out. Plan out when you will take each required course for your associate's degree. Research your 4 year school options and find out which ones have admission agreements with your community college.
I'm also starting at a 2-yr school and then transferinga and here's my advice-

1. Don't worry about taking classes in your major right off the bat, you've got alot of general education requirments to take first that you can easily fill at a community college.

2. Since you already know which school you will be going to make sure you get in contact with a counselor at that school so that they can give you any specific information on course requirments.
