Baton Rouge Community College will celebrate Community College Week beginning Monday, March 27, through Friday, March 31. A series of Open Houses, information sessions, entertainment and social events are planned for all interested and prospective students at the Mid City, Acadian, Ardendale, Frazier, and Port Allen campus locations.
Louisiana Community College Week takes place throughout the state to allow prospective students to get vital information about community colleges, programs of study, and to learn about financial assistance available to most students.
BRCC will have Open House events and other scheduled activities planned at campus locations. At the Open House events, attendees will learn about BRCC, available fields of study, certificate, degree and transfer programs, the admissions process, and financial aid. BRCC offers accredited programs, transfer opportunities, and the ability to participate in many courses in-person, online or through flexible evening and weekend classes.
A campus tour will be provided at each location, and financial aid representatives will be onsite to assist with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
