The Core Curriculum is guaranteed to transfer to public universities in Texas. [5] Career and technical education programs help prepare students for immediate entrance into the workforce. Along with traditional transfer class offerings, Brookhaven College's technical program offerings include accounting, automotive technology, business administration, child development, computer information systems, e-commerce, emergency medical services, geospatial technology, international business and trade, management, marketing, nursing, office technology, paramedicine, radiologic technology and visual communications.

Continuing education classes offer personal or professional development in a variety of subjects including art, business, computers, health care careers, education, English for Speakers of Other Languages, music, nonprofit management, real estate and more. Corporate training also is available.

Campus

Dallas College Brookhaven Campus 192-acre (0.78 km2) currently has a total of 467,000 square feet (43,400 m2) of building space divided among 18 buildings. These buildings include the 20,000-square-foot (2,000 m2) Brookhaven College Geotechnology Institute, one of three similar facilities nationwide to offer continuing professional development to professionals in the oil and gas industries, and the Brookhaven College School of the Arts (BCSA) expanded facility, with a 2,400-square-foot (220 m2) gallery, a renovated ceramics/kiln yard, Macintosh computer lab and a 680-seat performance hall.

Special programs

Programs of study added in recent years include associate degree programs in Mexican-American Studies (Fall, 2006), geographic information systems (Fall, 2005) and Criminal Justice (Fall, 2009).

In 2006, Dallas College Brookhaven Campus began a partnership with the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District to offer an Early College High School program, which admits a limited number of ninth-grade students to an on-site high school program that allows them to begin their college studies during their eleventh-grade year and earn an associate degree along with their high school diplomas. [7] This program is in addition to the existing dual-credit program that allows select secondary-school students to enroll in college courses at low cost while continuing at their original high-school campuses.

The college also hosts a Head Start Center, which provides child care services for low-income families. The Center also serves as a learning tool for students in the Child Development program.

The Students 55+ program offers non-credit, enrichment courses for adults 55 and older.
