Broward College Academics
Originally christened the Junior College of Broward County, later Broward Community College, and today Broward College, this institution is one of the schools that makes up Florida’s “Great 28” network of two-year community and junior colleges. The school confers a number of associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, as well as professional and technical training programs, non-credit certificates, and continuing education classes. It was recently approved to begin offering online and distance-learning degrees and certificates. The school is comprised of a number of centers and campuses that are located throughout Broward County, Florida, including the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus, the Judson A. Samuels South Campus, the North Campus in Coconut Creek, the Willis Holcombe Center, the Pines Center, the Institute for Economic Development, the Weston Center, and the Broward College Maroone Automotive Training Center.
Popular courses of study include Accounting Technology, Aviation, Graphic Design Technology, Legal Assisting Technology, Marine Engineering Management, Massage Therapy, and Automotive Technology. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges (SACSCC).
Broward College Admissions
Although Broward College offers admission to most students who apply to the school, prospective applicants must complete several steps of certification and evaluation before final approval and prior to registering for a course of study or specific classes.
First, proof of high school completion must be obtained, including a diploma or GED, plus high school transcripts, if applicable. In addition, applicants must establish their legal residency in the United States and qualify for either in-state or out-of-state residency for the state of Florida.
Finally, prospective students must submit to a standardized test to assess college readiness. Several options are available to fulfill this requirement, including the SAT, ACT, or the Computerized Placement Tests. English skills tests may be required for overseas applicants or non-native speakers. Additional prerequisites or admission requirements may apply for admission to specific programs or courses of study.
Broward College Financial Aid
Broward College offers a number of financial aid packages and options. The school has rolling deadlines throughout the year for financial aid applications, but officials caution that early submission of the FAFSA and supporting documents is the best way to ensure full consideration and the maximum award. Scholarships, loans, grants, and student employment are offered, and the school offers admitted students access to an array of state-funded scholarships and grants.
Broward College Students
With a student body that frequently exceeds 15,000 across all affiliated campuses, Broward College offers students a vibrant campus life. Maximizing and enriching the quality of the college experience is a major objective of the campus administration, and many programs and initiatives have been implemented to help achieve this goal, including intramurals, campus publications, wellness and fitness programs, cultural activities, and leadership development. The school’s student population reflects the socioeconomic and ethnic diversity of the Broward County area, with a majority of the enrolled students hailing from minority backgrounds. Although the student population encompasses a broad range of age groups and lifestyles, most are under the age of 30 and employed off-campus.
Broward College Athletics
Broward College fields a number of men’s and women’s teams in volleyball, baseball, basketball, softball, and tennis. The “Seahawks” compete in the Florida Community College Activities Association and the National Junior College Athletics Association. Intramurals and club sports are also a unifying force that helps to interconnect and yoke together the Broward College network of campuses.
