School Notes
Established in 1931, Berkeley College is a coeducational college
specializing in business. With six locations in New York and New
Jersey, USA, and students from 29 states and 88 foreign countries,
Berkeley is widely recognized for its academic excellence. From the
initial class of 50 students to the current combined student body
of more than 5,000, growth continues at Berkeley College. Today,
Berkeley College is convenient and accessible at six locations in
New York and New Jersey, and plans to welcome incoming students to
its newest campus in Newark, NJ in 2006. Additionally, Berkeley
College's unique online learning program continues to expand as a
popular alternative to the traditional classroom learning
environment. The Garret Mountain campus in the West Paterson–Little
Falls area of New Jersey occupies a lush, green setting atop Garret
Mountain. With an idyllic view of a reservoir and surrounding
suburbs, more than 1,200 day and evening students enjoy studying
and relaxing on the beautiful grounds when classes are not in
session. The main academic building is a modern, three-wing brick
structure, which accommodates faculty and administrative offices; a
library; attractively furnished, air-conditioned classrooms; as
well as three computer classrooms with 80 computers. Adjacent to
the Academic Center is a multi-level building which contains
general purpose and computer classrooms and labs with more than 80
additional computers. Through Berkeley's recreational programs,
students are able to participate in intramural and intercollegiate
sports including basketball, soccer, volleyball, and softball, as
well as participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities.
This summer, community colleges across the country have been participating in an innovative program known as “Waterbotics,” developed at the Stevens Institute of Technology by the Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education.
