Broward College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Broward College, previously known as Broward Community College, was established in 1959 by the Florida Legislature to create a broad public community system. Of Florida’s “Great 28” public community college, 10 community colleges were created before 1959, four during the year, and 14 in the following years.

Access and affordability were the key concepts behind the creation of Florida’s junior colleges. The system was created to provide a quality education for the two years of college affordable and build the colleges so no student would need to drive more than to get to attend college.

Broward College confers Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees as well as certificates to its graduates. Additionally the college offers a variety of Continuing Education programs and courses, flexible learning alternatives, and dual-enrollment programs for motivated high school students, as well as being home to the College Academy @ BCC, a program for Broward County public high school juniors and seniors that allows them to graduate with an A.A. degree simultaneously with their high school diploma. More than 95 percent of the graduates of the College Academy @ BCC continue their education.

A memorandum from the Chancellor Division of Community Colleges outlines the Letters of Intent from Community College Presidents including the initiative for Broward College to have the authority to offer Bachelor's degrees in Education (Middle Grades Math, Middle Grades Science, Secondary Math, Secondary Biology, and Exceptional Student Education) in the Fall semester of 2009. As part of this initiative, on May 28, 2008, Governor Charlie Crist signed a bill changing the college’s name from Broward Community College to Broward College after the House of Representatives and Senate approved the change earlier in the 2008 legislative session. The new name reflects the college’s role as a site-specific, baccalaureate degree-granting institution in addition to its work as one of the state’s 28 publicly supported community colleges.
