Once a student has been accepted, Boricua College is committed to providing its students with all the necessary supports to guarantee the completion of their studies and graduation. The network of student academic support services is part of the backup safety net for each and every student.

Student Academic Supports: This includes the Tutoring Center and College Prep Program.  The latter provides free-of-charge preparation for the High School Equivalency Diploma, and the federal Ability to Benefit Exam.

• Tutoring Center

  The Tutoring Center provides a STEM program of individual and group tutoring in Science, Technology, English and Math at each of the College’s locations throughout the academic year. The student’s Educational Facilitator's recommendation is required.

• College Prep Program

  The College Prep program was created to address the inadequate education, cultural prejudices, low academic skills, language difficulty and economic hardship, which contribute to Puerto Ricans, Hispanics and others leaving high school. At the core of the College Prep Program is the College’s individualized and small group, culture-based educational system, and its unique instruction methods that have proven over the past thirty-three years to guarantee quality education and high retention rates among the College’s students. The College Prep Program is offered at all the College’s campuses. Completion of the College Prep Program can lead to admissions into the College.

• Community Service

  Community Service, together with instruction and research, constitute the three primary functions of an institution of higher learning. Boricua is proud of its consistent, effective and far reaching contributions to community service. In addition to the College Prep program other community service activities include the following:

• Boricua College Chorus

  A permanent, volunteer choral group under the College’s auspices was established in 1985 by its Director and Artist-in-Residence, the late Abraham Lind Oquendo. It is composed of singers of diverse ethnic backgrounds representing the multi-cultural/multi-racial makeup of New York City. Membership is open to students, staff, and alumni of Boricua College, and the community-at-large. While the scope of musical presentations is universal, the Chorus emphasizes the dissemination, development and nurturing of Puerto Rican and Hispanic music and composers, utilizing an international repertoire of varied styles and languages. The Chorus performs extensively throughout the New York metropolitan area, including Carnegie Hall, and has collaborated with the Bronx Arts Ensemble Orchestra on numerous occasions. The Chorus has received numerous awards and is widely praised.

• The Galerías de Arte

  The Galerías de Arte are located at each of the College's Campus buildings. They provide an indispensable showcase for emerging and professional Puerto Ricans, Hispanic/Latino and non-Latino artists to present their work for exhibitions, discussions, workshops and conferences for students, faculty and community members.
