The first place I would look at is Broward College in Hollywood, FL (Ft. Lauderdale suburb). I taught out of that school and it is fairly well established and most of the students enjoy it there. The demographics of students seems pretty well mixed (So. FL) and there are a lot of VA students. The other place I would look at is Polk State College out of Lakeland, FL. They have a smaller program. Keep in mind the area/demographics is different (North Central FL) but their program is good as well. I do believe that Polk has or is certainly close to getting a BS program (more benefits).
