Generally I like John D's list, however, IMO

*) Misner / Thorne / Wheeler
    Gravitation

 *) Jackson
    Classical Electrodynamics

are probably not that appropriate for a two year college situation.  Unless
of course, you have lots of book money to burn.  But there may be other
choices for spending money that would be better and more likely to be read
by students.
