A diverse, progressive educational environment

Founded in 1978, Brookhaven College is a diverse, progressive educational environment enriching the lives of our students, employees and community.

The college provides high-value, low-cost freshman- and sophomore-level courses. Many students each year successfully transfer to four-year universities, while others enter directly into the workforce with a technical certificate or skills award.

Unique initiatives and programs

Brookhaven College is the home of several unique initiatives and programs. In fall 2006 the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District’s Early College High School opened, allowing area students to earn high school and college credits simultaneously. The Brookhaven College Head Start Center, a premier preschool for 176 children and a training facility for the college’s child development program, opened in 2007.

Also located at Brookhaven College is the Ellison Miles Geotechnology Institute, an organization whose mission is to promote Earth system’s science education and teacher training. The college also offers a unique and comprehensive arts program through its School of the Arts for serious art students and the Arts Academy with innovative arts programming for the whole family.

Full range of student support services

Academic programs are complemented by a full range of student support services including advising, career development, counseling, financial aid, special services for students with learning differences, instructional support, intercollegiate sports, student clubs and organizations, and access to computer laboratories.
