Adult Applicants
Many adult students are striving to balance work and family with college studies while others have not yet found the time to reenter or even begin college. To meet these special requirements, Berkeley has established an Office of Adult Admissions which provides an environment that is sensitive to the needs of adult students. Seven convenient locations in the New York City, Westchester, and New Jersey metropolitan areas provide exceptional convenience and flexibility, as students have the option of combining day, evening, weekend, and online classes at more than one campus. In addition, academic advisors provide professional guidance to adult students who may be able to earn credit for college-level learning acquired through experience.
Adult students who have previously attended college should follow the procedures for transfer applicants. Adults who are first-time college students must submit the following information to be considered for admission:
Online Degree Applicants
The Office of Online Admissions works with busy adults who are unable to attend classes on campus and wish to earn their degree entirely online. Applicants must successfully complete a short introductory online course to familiarize them with online learning prior to course registration. Interested students should call (800-446-5400, ext. PO) or email info@BerkeleyCollege.edu.
Transfer Applicants
Students who graduated from an accredited high school or equivalent and then attended another college or university are considered transfer students. To be considered for admission, the following information must be submitted:
If all post-secondary institutions previously attended are not listed on the admission application, transfer credit may not be granted and the student becomes subject to disciplinary action.
International Applicants
The International Student Office works together with each location to provide assistance to international students in such areas as immigration, housing, orientation to college, and adjustment to American life. This office is located at Berkeley's New York City Campus. Students can contact the International Office either by phone (212-687-3730), fax (212-986-7827), or e-mail (international@BerkeleyCollege.edu).
