Introduction

Brookhaven College opened its doors in 1978 as one of the seven Dallas County Community Colleges. Located on a 200-acre campus in the city of Farmers Branch, the college serves the northern portion of Dallas County, including Addison, Carrollton, Farmers Branch and North Dallas. During fall 2007, approximately 10,300 academic credit students were enrolled at Brookhaven College. Thousands of students also enroll in Workforce and Continuing Education Division courses during any given term.

A two-year community college, Brookhaven College offers a full range of freshman-and sophomore-level courses leading to the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degrees. Associate in Applied Science degrees and certificates and Associate of Arts in Teaching degrees are also available.

Brookhaven College offers day, evening, weekend and flexible classes to provide a convenient time for most schedules. Distance education courses are taught via the Internet, television and video. Students can attend Brookhaven College while attending another college or university; some even begin their course work while still in high school.
