By being part of this unique learning community, students will take two courses at the same time; thus, being able to form meaningful human connections, and cultivating a sense of social belonging to Broward College. Students will also learn about career, transfer, and professional opportunities as we will be encouraging them to “keep the end in mind” and choose a Pathway Community before they finish the program!
