About Berkeley College

Learn how the Berkeley Blend can energize your future

We’re waking up to a different world. To succeed in this new world, your need to be adaptable…and flexible. And just like one type of coffee just simply doesn’t work for everyone, you need to find the right blend. You’ll find that the Berkeley Blend is perfect for helping you reach your full potential.

Be flexible

Study on campus, online or through a blend of both—all with the support and guidance for which Berkeley is known. With a full course load and continuous enrollment, you can earn:

A Bachelor’s degree in as few as three years
An Associate’s degree in just 16 months
Both a Bachelor’s degree and an MBA in as little as four years

Some programs offer concentrated seven-week course options. Shorter certificate programs are available.

Be confident

Support services, such as tutoring, workshops, and the Center for Academic Success, are available on campus and online every step of the way.

Be in the place.

Right from the start, you’ll notice that Berkeley College is a unique college experience. Our goal is to do everything possible to help you reach your full potential. While we have the facilities and resources to offer an outstanding education that’s very focused on preparing you for a career, most people say that Berkeley College feels more like a family. You won’t feel like a number—people will know you by name. Someone will always be available to help. And you’ll get a practical, powerful, hands-on education that will prepare you to enter the professional world.
