Brookdale Community College will hold its annual fall open house on Nov. 6 from noon to 3 p.m. in the Collins Arena, 765 Newman Springs Road (Route 520), Lincroft.
High school students, career-changers and residents of all ages are invited to meet with Brookdale staff, ask questions and explore more than 50 degree and career training programs offered through the college, according to a press release.
For the first time, attendees will be able to take customized “academic tours” and meet with representatives from Brookdale’s four Academic Institutes: Business and Social Science; Health Sciences; Humanities; and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Students and parents can tour multiple academic institutes – including the college’s science labs, arts studios, classrooms, student lounges and other facilities – and participate in guided “mini tours” of Brookdale’s 220-acre campus, according to the press release.
Staff members will be on hand to discuss available scholarships, financial aid, “Fast Start” programs for local high school students, continuing education programs for adults and more.
Representatives from partner universities such as Georgian Court University and Rutgers University will be available to discuss streamlined transfer programs, discounted tuition for Brookdale graduates and four-year degree programs offered in Monmouth County. Complimentary food will be provided by Brookdale’s Culinary Education Center, according to the press release.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive at noon to participate in all open house activities. Those who pre-register for the event will be entered into a drawing for a $50 college store gift card and other prizes. To register or learn more, visit www.brookdalecc.edu/openhouse or call 732-224-1857.
