Under the direction of Dr. William Greene, a BCC graduate and 1987 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, the college's International Education Institute has established itself as one the nation's most comprehensive programs.

Whether back on campus or out in the community, BCC graduates distinguish themselves in many fields. One hundred percent of Broward County's law enforcement officers are trained at the college.

BCC also trains firefighters to protect property and save lives, and trains EMTs and paramedics to provide emergency care for the ill and injured.

The Electronic Engineering Technology program on North Campus has been recognized as of the nation's best and helps meet the needs of employers on South Florida's Silicon Beach. Technology has changed radically since 1992, when this picture was taken.

BCC offers childcare programs for the children of its students and staff and offers outstanding programs in Early Childhood Education. Programs in Continuing Education offer classes for daycare providers.

BCC trains about 80 percent of the allied health workers in Broward County, from dental assistants and hygienists to physical therapy assistants, massage therapists, and technicians in a variety of fields such as diagnostic sonography and radiography.

BCC and area healthcare providers have teamed up to offer full scholarships for nursing students and the promise of employment after graduation.

In its 40-plus years, BCC has positioned itself as one of America's finest community colleges, but as a relatively young institution of higher learning, the sky is still the limit.
