Brevard Community College is committed to engaging our diverse population in quality, accessible learning opportunities which successfully meet individual and community needs.
Brevard Community College, founded in 1960, is a community college on Florida's Space Coast, in Brevard County, Florida. It has four integrated campuses in Cocoa, Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Titusville, as well as an Aerospace program at Kennedy Space Center and a Virtual Campus.
Most of BCC's students take part in its Associate in Arts transfer program. In 2007, BCC was listed 21st in the nation in awarding AA degrees.
The president's office, and therefore the college's headquarters, is on the Cocoa campus.
A four-day summer workweek, instituted in 2008, has proved popular.
Transfer and articulation partnerships between BCC and the University of Central Florida, a joint initiative called "DirectConnect," and with the Florida Institute of Technology, whose TechTrack program guarantees the admission of BCC graduates who wish to transfer to Florida Tech, make possible the seamless transfer of credits from BCC's Associate's program to these and other four-year institutions. The BCC-UCF partnership also involves the sharing of facilities and services with UCF on BCC's campuses, including the BCC/UCF Joint-Use Library.
WENDI, training for self-esteem and career, is a program operated by BCC for women newly seeking employment outside the home.
The 2,000-seat Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts, on the Melbourne BCC campus, offers performances and cultural art events. The Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory, on the Cocoa BCC campus, features one of the largest public-access telescopes in Florida as well as large-format movies, laser light shows, and other presentations.
The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse, owned by BCC, offers musical and dramatic productions featuring local and regional performers, and is also host to a "Stars of Tomorrow" program for the development of local performing-arts talent.
