About

Boricua College, located across campuses in Manhattan and Brooklyn, is best known for its pioneering mission to provide a bilingual and bicultural liberal arts education specifically designed to empower Puerto Rican and other Latino students. The college’s strongest academic offerings are focused on community-centered careers, featuring highly regarded programs in Human Services, Childhood Education, and Business Administration. Setting the institution apart is its distinctive "facilitator" system, which replaces traditional lectures with individualized instruction and weekly, small-group learning colloquiums. This collaborative approach fosters a deeply supportive and culturally affirming campus culture where non-traditional and working adult students can thrive academically while balancing their professional and family lives.
