IGNITE Scholars

The mission of IGNITE Scholars is to help you, a first-time college student, obtain an associate degree in two to three years and direct you to the right classes to transfer to a four-year college or university and possibly earn and AAT/AST degree. This innovative cohort program provides intensive support and early planning to help you succeed in college.

BCC鈥檚 Society of Scholars are cohort-based, meaning students take classes with the same group of students and move forward together to reach their educational goals. This enables students to have a support system within their peers, building relationships and connections with one another as they help each other succeed. This peer support is in addition to the support they also receive from BCC鈥檚 dedicated instructors and counselors who provide valuable support services such as individual counseling, tutoring, mentoring, and educational planning 鈥� all to ensure a successful transfer to jobs and/or a four-year university.
