About This School
Berkeley College-Woodland Park is a private for-profit institution located in Woodland Park, New Jersey with approximately 1,778 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,100 per year. The graduation rate is 44%, and the typical graduate earns $43,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 45% graduation rate and 69% freshman retention suggest that fewer than half of students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth weighing carefully. On the positive side, debt at graduation is relatively modest at $15,414, and median earnings of $43,600 after 10 years are reasonable given the net price of about $20,549 per year. Worth considering if you're drawn to the small, career-focused environment and have a clear plan for staying on track — but come in with eyes open about the dropout risk.
