Miami Dade College: From Humble Beginnings to Bachelor Bliss (and Yes, You Can Get a Bachelors There!)
So, you're thinking about college, but a four-year stint sounds about as appealing as spending spring break with your grandma in Boca. Fear not, my friend, for there's a hidden gem in the Sunshine State that might be the perfect fit: Miami Dade College (MDC).
Hold on, I hear you cry, "Isn't Miami Dade a community college? Like, the place you go to learn to be a welder or a pastry chef extraordinaire?" (Let's be honest, both those skills are pretty awesome for a party trick.)
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Well, yes and no. MDC started out as a community college, but it's blossomed into a full-fledged institution offering a surprising variety of bachelor's degrees. We're talking about everything from Education (because who wouldn't want to learn from someone who tanned on the beach during their lunch break?) to Film & Television (perfect for aspiring Hollywood hotshots, minus the whole needing-to-be-discovered-in-a-diner thing).
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
Here's the kicker: because it's a community college at heart, MDC offers bachelor's degrees at a fraction of the cost of a traditional four-year university. Now that's what I call sunshine on your wallet!
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
But is a Bachelor's from MDC any good? You betcha! The professors are top-notch, the classes are engaging (and hopefully air-conditioned), and you'll graduate with a degree that's recognized and respected by employers. Plus, you'll be a Miami local – beaches, anyone?
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.

Now, before you pack your flip flops and head for South Beach, there are a few things to consider:
- Not all MDC campuses offer bachelor's degrees. Make sure you check which campuses have the program you're interested in.
- The application process is a little different for bachelor's degrees compared to associate's degrees. Don't worry, it's not rocket science, but it's good to be prepared.
Still with me? Then awesome! You might be on your way to becoming a Miami Dade College alum.
