AP courses improve their writing skills and problem-solving techniques, develop the study habits necessary for tackling rigorous course work, and most important of all, match the high standards set by colleges and universities.

Dual Enrollment
Broward Community College and the School Board of Broward County jointly sponsor a Dual Enrollment Program. This program gives high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to enroll in courses at BCC for high school and college credit.

Courses are offered at the student's high school as well as BCC's campus locations.
Dual enrolled students DO NOT pay the BCC registration, enrollment and textbook fees because they also are receiving high school credit for their courses.
Dual enrollment courses not offered by BCC may be taken at other institutions with which SBBC has dual enrollment agreements. Currently, dual enrollment agreements are in place for: BCC, FAU and FIU.
