Why BMCC?

Here are some quotes from students during the 2015-16 academic year:

“I have learned skills in coding HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, SQL, and a small amount of Java across all the courses I have taken.”

“The assigned projects were hands-on and I learned a lot of practical and useful information from them.”

“In all the courses I’ve taken I’ve learned something new, whether it was basic troubleshooting or using Linux or removing malware. I’ve been taught a lot in the past nine months.”

“The CS instructors at BMCC are great at their craft, and they can share that knowledge with students in a manner that is easy for students to understand.”
