Miami Dade College (Miami Dade, MDC or Dade)[7] is a public college in Miami, Florida. Founded in 1959, it has a total of eight campuses[8] and twenty-one outreach centers throughout Miami-Dade County. It is the largest college in the Florida College System with more than 100,000 students.[9][10] The college enrolls a significantly larger number of Hispanic students compared to other colleges and universities in the state of Florida.[11] The college serves a higher number of minority students than any other college in the nation.[12]
History
[edit]Initially established on the farm of a county high school, Dade County Junior College and later, Miami Dade Community College—as it was formerly known—had its modest beginnings. Like most organizations at the time, it was a segregated institution. It wasn't until 1962 that desegregation took full effect, and black and white students could share full schedules. In 1963, the first new building was constructed, and Peter Masiko would become president for the next 18 years.[13] As the years progressed, more campuses began opening across the county,including the Kendall Campus and the Wolfson Campus.
Initially, the college had an open admissions policy, meaning anyone who could afford to pay was allowed to study at the campus. Due to this, the college aimed to improve its academic stance among alumni. To encourage this movement, a Medical Center was built for students in Allied Health and Nursing (RN) programs. As the number of Cuban exiles and refugees began to rise in 1980, an outreach center was built in the city of Hialeah. This allowed refugees and immigrants educational opportunities that they wouldn't be able to achieve otherwise. Another outreach center, the InterAmerican Center, was built to accommodate bilingual education. The Homestead Campus was built in 1990 in Homestead to relieve the concerns of students having to drive to the Kendall Campus In Miami. In the mid-1990s, the college began to rely heavily on the Miami Dade College Foundation as the Florida legislature reduced the state's education budget. The college also had to figure out new ways of recruiting students. It began its "Successful Alumni" campaign in the late 1990s, marketing the success of the college's alumni to local prospective students.
Beginning in 2001, the college implemented a strategic plan to revamp the college and its recruiting goals. In 2002, the college disbanded its Honors Program and created The Honors College for talented high school graduates.[14][failed verification] The Honors College is a representation of Miami Dade College's most academically gifted students in different fields and was originally based on the three larger campuses (Wolfson, Kendall, and North). In 2006, Miami Dade College surpassed 1.5 million students enrolled throughout its history. In 2007, The Honors College expanded into the Eduardo J. Padron Campus (formerly - InterAmerican Campus) with The Honors College Dual Language Honors Program to tailor to the needs of the growing Spanish-speaking population in the United States as well as abroad. The Dual Language Honors Program opened its doors to bilingual students who wish to continue their careers with professional fluency in the English and Spanish languages. In 2009, The MDC Honors College Dual Language Program earned the merit of Innovation of the Year in the Learning and Teaching Department from the League for Innovation. The Honors College continues to expand and will open its fifth campus at Miami Dade College Homestead Campus Fall 2022. In 2018, Miami Dade was awarded and recognized for its path to economic and social mobility by the Aspen Institute. The award received was the $1 million Aspen Prize.
In its first year of operation, The Honors College admitted a cohort of about 75 college freshman located at Wolfson campus. In its second year, it admitted a like-sized cohort of about 75 graduating seniors at the Wolfson campus, North Campus, and Kendall Campus. Among these inaugural classes, international students hailed from countries like Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. By the year 2005, The Honors College had an enrollment total of 400 undergraduate students.[15]
In order to qualify for The Honors College, graduating high school seniors or first-year college students must meet the following eligibility criteria:
Minimum Grade Point Average (GPA):
- At least 3.7 weighed.
- At least 3.5 unweighed.
Minimum Standardized Test Scores:
- ACT: Reading 19, Math 19, English 17
- SAT: Reading 24, Math 24, Writing and Language 25
Additionally, consideration for the Dual Language program requires a demonstration of Spanish proficiency. In this case, the requirements are as follows:
- High School Degree in a Spanish-speaking country.
- AP Spanish Language or AP Spanish Literature: Score of 4 or higher.
- Spanish Translation & Interpretation exam: Score of 55% or higher.
- Spanish Language or Spanish Literature class: Grade of A or B.
Lastly, the application process also involves a standard MDC application and a specialized Honors College application, which requests official high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and supplemental questions. Qualified students are invited to an interview with the admissions committee.[15]
Once students are admitted into the Honors College, they become part of an enriched learning environment with an academically challenging courses, a community of scholars, personalized counseling, competitive scholarships, and transfer opportunities.[15] During their two years at the Honors College, students must complete 60 credits hours, 36 of which are taught by honors faculty, in order to successfully earn an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree from Miami Dade College.[15] Their tuition is fully funded by the Honors Fellows Award, which covers all in-state tuition and offers a book allowance and stipend given on a semester-by-semester basis. To maintain a spot in the Honors College, students must complete community service hours, leadership courses, and a Colloquia requirement.[15]
In 2021, Eduardo Padron was succeeded by Madeline Pumariega as president of the college. He had held the position since 1995.[2][16]
