Bloomfield College of Montclair State University is a public college in Bloomfield, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is chartered by the State of New Jersey and accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The school became part of Montclair State University starting in July 2023, before which it had been a private college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) through the Synod of the Northeast.
The numbers here tell a cautionary story — only 31% of students graduate, and fewer than 6 in 10 freshmen return for sophomore year, which are serious warning signs worth understanding before enrolling. On the positive side, the average net price of $18,778/year is relatively affordable, and its recent merger with Montclair State University may signal more resources and stability ahead. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan for staying on track, but compare carefully against nearby schools with stronger completion rates.
