These experiences also provide valuable opportunities to build their resumes and cultivate meaningful connections that support their professional growth. The focus on experiential learning aligns with Berkeley College's mission of empowering each student to achieve lifelong success by equipping them with practical skills, networking opportunities, and real-world, hands-on experiences.

At Berkeley College, “stackable credentials” offer the ability to seamlessly continue your education, adding credentials (Certificate program to Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and Master’s degree) to advance your career possibilities and increase your earning potential. You may be able to begin a career in an entry-level position, then advance while working. In some situations, employers may offer tuition assistance to employees continuing their education. The ability to accomplish all this at one college adds efficiency—the admissions and credit transfer processes are easier, students are already familiar with the infrastructure of the college, as well as the professors and support staff and services.

Berkeley College professors are selected for both academic excellence and relevant experience. Many have extensive professional experience in the subjects they teach. Some have run their own companies or held high-level positions with leading firms. Students benefit from their professors' expertise in real-world situations as they prepare for the professional world.

At Berkeley College, students can earn a Bachelor's degree in as few as three years and an Associate's degree in as little just 18 months. Berkeley College also makes it possible for high-achieving students in certain programs to complete a BBA or BS and an MBA in Management in as quickly as four years, assuming full-time enrollment in three semesters per year.

The Four-year Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Option provides an accelerated degree path with many benefits, including the ability to:

• Graduate with an MBA much sooner than through the traditional route
• Expand career opportunities and earning potential with an advanced degree
• Save significant tuition costs
