Broward College

What Broward College does

Broward College is a public community college headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operating across multiple campuses in Broward County (Central/Davie, North/Coconut Creek, South/Pembroke Pines) plus an Online Campus. Founded circa 1963 and governed by a District Board of Trustees under the Florida College System, the institution offers a layered credentialing portfolio: Technical Certificates for immediate workforce entry, Associate of Science (AS) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees for specialized careers, the Associate of Arts (AA) for guaranteed transfer as a junior to Florida public universities, and Bachelor's degrees in workforce-demand areas. Non-credit Workforce & Continuing Education, Health Sciences Continuing Education, and Corporate Education programs supplement the credit catalog, with a Health Sciences Simulation Center and the Buehler Planetarium as ancillary facilities.

The underlying technology stack centers on BC Online as the learning management system supporting blended and fully online modalities, with student services delivered through the myBC Student Portal and Salesforce-based inquiry/apply flows. Placement testing relies on computer-adaptive systems (ACCUPLACER Next Generation, ACCUPLACER ESL/LOEP, PERT, HLM, TBE), and remote proctoring is supported through third-party vendors (ProctorU, D2L, Honorlock, Examity). The institution is SACSCOC-accredited and carries Purple Star, Best For Vets, and Military Friendly designations.

The business model operates as a state-supported public institution with primary revenue from tuition and fees (in-state tuition $984/term plus $431 in fees), supplemented by federal financial aid, state and federal grants (e.g., $949,986 U.S. Department of Education, $900,000+ Florida Job Growth Grant Fund), and private donations (e.g., a $4.1 million GA Telesis contribution including Rolls-Royce Trent 800 jet engines). Customer segments span traditional degree-seeking students, dual enrollment high schoolers (minimum 3.0 GPA), veterans and military-affiliated students, foster care and homeless youth (with tuition exemptions), international students, and adult workforce learners — distributed across the Broward County region with global online reach.
