Introducing the

10K BA for 2013

Dr. Linda HowdyshellCollege Provost and Senior Vice President

for Academics and Student Success

The Issue• Increasing tuition and fees• No longer job guarantee• Student debt outpacing credit-card debt

The ChallengeFlorida Gov. Scott challenges state

colleges to create bachelor’s degree programs that cost no more

than $10,000.

Critics claim a BA 10K model, by definition, has reduced quality

Lower faculty costs Online classes

Reduced instructional time

Academic support services eliminated

The critics are

wrong

All 28 Florida colleges respond.

Broward College announces the

BC 10K Model for 2013

Broward College• 11 locations in Broward County, Florida • Opened in 1960 • 67,000 students• $1 billion annual economic impact • 113,000+ alumni• International programs, locations and partnerships

This new model — the BC 10K — will roll out to dealers this fall and feature many standard features found on higher priced models:

• Dual enrollment• Fourth year scholarship• $2,500 each year with scholarships• Take 15 credits, pay for 12• Prior learning credit• Targeted HS/HW• Cohort based

This new model will require the leasee to agree to the following terms:

• maintain fulltime enrollment • maintain continuous enrollment • cover cost for repeated or non-program classes • use financial aid first • demonstrate Florida residency • enter program with 3.0 GPA  

If terms and conditions are met, the student (leasee)

will pay no more than $2,500 a year for each of the four years leading to a bachelor's degree.

However, at the end of this four-year lease program, there is no buyout necessary and

the student owns the degree outright.

10K Model

It provides owners (graduates) with degrees that match up with the driving experience

(job opportunities) of today.  

Does cost dictate educational quality?

The answer is “No”.
