About This School

Broward College is a public institution located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with approximately 23,799 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,077 per year. The graduation rate is 36%, and the typical graduate earns $38,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Broward College is a public college based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Miramar, Florida, Pembroke Pines, Florida and Davie, Florida. It is a member of the Florida College System, and offers several associate and baccalaureate degree programs.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the median debt at graduation is a genuinely low $4,500, making this one of the more affordable paths to a degree in South Florida, but a 36% graduation rate signals that many students who start here don't finish — worth asking why before enrolling. If you're looking for an affordable associate degree, a stepping stone to a Florida state university, or a career-focused program while staying local, this can be a smart, low-risk choice. Just go in with a clear plan and use advising resources early, because students who drift tend to become part of that 64% who don't complete.
