Florida’s colleges are seeing a boom in students who prefer keyboards to blackboards, apps to athletics, chat rooms to dorm rooms. And the schools are scrambling to respond. Broward College and the University of Florida are rapidly expanding their offerings, and others like Florida Atlantic University are planning to follow suit soon. A year after Broward College designated its online programs as a fourth campus, enrollment surged 35 percent in one year to 9,000 students. The school this year is spending $500,000 to create new health-care management and cyber-security certificate programs, with plans to later add associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs in the high-demand fields, Associate Provost David Shulman said.
