The BMCC Learning Express program offers the opportunity to complete a course over a single three-day weekend. Students who live in the Washington, DC area will enjoy taking a deeper dive into the history and culture of their host city.

GIRL POWER:

Step inside the lives and stories of some strong and colorful women who have left their mark on Washington, the United States and even the world. Suffragettes, those who fought for women's voting rights, First Ladies, artists, community activists and countless others have influenced culture, politics and the social fabric of this city. On field trips on Friday and Saturday afternoon, you will visit some of their homes, monuments, museum exhibits and art works, and hear their stories. Some you may know, and some will surprise and amuse you. This class is specifically designed for au pairs living in the Washington, DC area, but students from other cities are welcome.
