Founded in 1931, Berkeley College specializes in business
education. With over 7,200 students at eight campus locations
and a virtual campus, Berkeley College continues to provide
high quality, career-focused education. Berkeley draws its
strength from balancing academic preparation, professional
training, and hands-on experience. Since its inception, the
College has evolved and expanded to be recognized as a premier
educator in preparing men and women for careers in business.
Berkeley's commitment to excellence constitutes the primary
objective of the College. Small classes, individualized advisement
and counseling, and the development of the student's creative

their academic credentials and professional experience.
