International Students
Welcome to Brookhaven College
As the economy continues to grow globally, more and more students are
choosing to pursue higher education outside of their home country. So
should you!
Brookhaven College is a fully accredited two-year college that is known
for its exceptional faculty and small class sizes, while providing affordable
programs in highly valued career fields. The college is proud of its diverse
student population and welcomes all students who are pursuing a bright
and successful future. For a comprehensive list of our programs, flip to
the back page.
Become an expert by learning from one.
Brookhaven College employs approximately 130 full-time and 450 parttime faculty members, all of whom have at least a master’s degree plus
18 hours in their teaching area or the industry-standard credentials in
their field — credentials you don’t always see in your first two years at
a four-year college. Plus, with the low student-to-faculty ratio of 22:1,
students are given more time with professors in smaller, more intimate
classroom settings.

Break the Language Barrier
Prepare for college-level classes through English for Speakers
of Other Languages, a credit program that helps non-native
English speakers polish their skills in listening, speaking,
reading, writing and grammar. Once students complete
ESOL, they transition seamlessly to college-level classes and
programs to begin their field of study. At Brookhaven College,
no TOEFL score is required to begin the four-level program.
Cutting-edge Technology
Brookhaven College is invested in your success. That’s why the
college has grown in the past two years to include two new
buildings – the Science and Allied Health building, Building
X; and the Workforce and Continuing Education building,
Building W – and one massive expansion of a previous
building – the Automotive Technology building, Building Q.
