Vietnamese-American Vocational Training College, known as "VATC", is a private vocational college in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and licensed and regulated by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA) of Vietnam. It was established in 1997 as an English-language training center, but became licensed to offer vocational college degrees in 2006. In 2008 it began a partnership with Broward College in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to begin the process of internationalizing its programs with a goal toward ultimately offering accredited U.S. associate's degree programs.
In 2011 Broward College received approval from its accrediting body to allow its associate degrees to be offered in Vietnam through VATC. In 2012 VATC was licensed by MOLISA to offer these degrees, becoming the host of the new Broward College Vietnam International Center and, for the first time, allowing Broward College Associate of Arts and Associate of Science programs to be offered in Vietnam. VATC thus became the first institution in Vietnam to offer accredited American community college programs in a traditional, face-to-face classroom environment, with a full suite of student services, student life activities, and learning resources. VATC's Broward College faculty and staff come from all over the globe, including the United States, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Singapore, and Vietnam. The student body is primarily Vietnamese, but a significant minority of students come from countries such as China, Cambodia, Canada, France, and the United States. Upon graduating with an associate degree, students either enter the workforce, or continue towards a bachelor's degree in the United States, Australia, Singapore, or elsewhere.
(Verse 1:)
Like a perfect ten in a magazine were the girls that caught my eyes
Sophisticated queen with the sex appeal
Beauty no less than a dime
But the girl that really caught my heart wasn't anything like that at first glance you wouldn't see it...
But she was really bad
-papasito, venconmigo
-dejame demostrar a ti
-que tu no puedes ver
-la mujer (marya-dentro) de mi
(Chorus:)
She's just an average girl
Ain't got no mink and pearls still she's like royalty
She's a princess in disguise
She's got a heart of gold
Within a tale untold, that's where her beauty lies
She's a princess in disguise
Her smile is like a twinkle in the sky
A diamond in the ruff with the heart of a child
Her true beauty is more then skin deep
Because the essence of a women is hidden underneath
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
-tomame al castillo que estan en los nubes
Hasme princesa de tu corazon, mi serviente de amor
Desde alli, viajar a otros lugares
Para vivir momentos inolvidables
You stole my heart and sealed it with a kiss
No matter where i look, it can't get no better than this
My princess, my goddess, you came from up above
I'll treat you like royalty, with all my love
Your heart is pure, together we explore
We build on honesty, one solid core
You caught my eye, i can't deny
You're in my heart, you are my pride
