"The experience at BC helped me substantially as it laid many foundations in preparing me for my education in the United States. As the American education system was something that I was very unfamiliar with initially, BC helped me by making my transition into this unfamiliar system so smooth and easy through the assistance of helpful faculty members and advisors. In addition, the GE (General Education) classes which were offered in BC introduced me to many areas of study. Subjects ranging from Art Appreciation to Business Management made me a well-rounded student.
Having graduated from BC about two years ago, I am now a graduating senior at San Francisco State University, majoring in Psychology. With the transfer of credits that I was able to get through my attendance at BC, my Bachelor’s degree took me about three and a half years. I plan to continue on to my Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology in Fall 2008. I am very thankful to bc, the faculty and Dean, Dr Hamilton for their unrelenting support and encouragement that they have provided to the students. My time at bc is definitely an experience that I will never forget. "

"As a Taiwanese transfer student at the age of 15, I encountered difficult years in my secondary school time in Singapore. The “O” Level results were not as bad as I thought they were going to be, but it was certainly difficult for me to enter the next phase of my educational career. I faced several dilemmas and had no idea where I wanted to go after secondary school. I blindly signed up for many local programs but did not get through even one of them. But just as most people began to lose confidence in me, my life turned around unexpectedly by my experience at a private school in Singapore with great professors and a wonderful academic program.
The Center for American Education offers the best Associates Degree program in Singapore. Partnering with Broward College (Florida), this program opened doors for me that I didn't even know existed. The professors were fantastic and the coursework stimulating, and because of the BC program at the Center for American Education, I was suddenly qualified to join any one of dozens of top universities in the States.
After completing a couple of semesters at CAE, I successfully transferred 24 credits into Hofstra University, in New York. I finished my Bachelor’s Program in Finance in just two years' time because of the credits granted to me from BC. As I look back on my achievements, I am indeed grateful to this program. Without it, I would never have achieved my dreams. CAE broke down education barriers, and allowed me to reach career goals that otherwise would never have been reached. The good memories I have of my educational life began at CAE, and I am proud to be an alumnus." |

"I wish to thank Broward College for giving me the foundation I needed to be where I am today. When I was a student at Broward, I couldn’t understand why I had to learn so many subjects, from history to music to art. But now, a finance graduate from RMIT, I realize that the grounding I received from Broward helped me to widen my horizons and become a more rounded person. It is true that we appreciate something when we no longer have it, because now I find myself fondly reminiscing over my American Literature and Art Appreciation lessons that I used to find particularly hard. So I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Broward College and particularly Dr. Hamilton for helping me to get where I am today."

"Broward College at the Center for American Education in Singapore has prepared me well for University level work. I recommend students in Singapore who intend to pursue their tertiary education in the U.S. to join the BC program. It is definitely less expensive to study in a U.S. college in Singapore, compared to studying in a college or university in the U.S. Needless to say, I am proud to be an alumni of CAE."

"At BC in Singapore, I had total freedom of choice and the beauty of it is that all my credits are transferable to my degree course in the States."
