ABOUT THE COLLEGE
Established in 1960, the mission of Broward College is to achieve student success by developing informed and creative students capable of contributing to a knowledge and service-based global society.
As a public college accredited to offer associate degrees, select baccalaureate degrees, and certificate programs, the institution and its District Board of Trustees are committed to fostering a learning-centered community that celebrates empowering and engaging students, faculty and staff.
With approximately 50,000 students and 4,000 faculty and staff, Broward College offers 167 programs in eight career pathways that include specialized certificates, two- and four-year degrees, non-degree training, workforce readiness, and an extensive list of continuing education curricula. A 2020 Florida TaxWatch study reported that Broward College substantially increases the earnings of its graduates (total income to workers within the most recent year of graduates estimated to improve by $1.2 billion per year), gives students the best return on investment (nearly 10 percent), and provides substantial economic impact to South Florida (more than $1.7 billion).
In 2023, the Aspen Institute named Broward College one of the top 10 community colleges among more than 1,000 community and state colleges in the nation. This marks the fifth time the College has earned recognition as a top 10 finalist for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.
Broward College is also the recipient of a transformational gift of $30 million from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who made the donation along with her husband, Dan Jewett.
Board of Trustees
The Broward College District Board of Trustees brings together community leaders who provide dedicated leadership to the College and its activities. The Governor of the State of Florida appoints this group of outstanding local citizens. As the governing board of the College, they are the stewards of Broward College's commitment to excellence, while they guide the College and implement the goals enumerated in their mission statement. Their desire to provide students with the academic skills needed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities, to enhance skills to be competitive in the rapidly changing job market, and to offer opportunities for continuing education, personal growth, and enrichment is a challenge they approach with enthusiasm. As a team, these community leaders are fully engaged in providing a future that offers increased higher education opportunities for Broward County residents.
Broward College Foundation
Established in 1971, the Broward College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the officially designated means of making private, charitable contributions to Broward College. Our purpose is to change lives through education by providing community awareness, advocacy, and funding to the college.
The foundation's volunteer Board of Directors works closely with the college's Office of Advancement to raise money to support scholarships, academic programs, and learning facility enhancements.
We believe providing the opportunity education makes possible, to those who can benefit from it the most, is crucial to our community's future.
