Popular Academics at Berkeley College


The retention rate for the New York campus is 65%. This term refers to the percentage of freshmen who return to school for their second year of classes. The student population is 3,696.

Because Berkeley College in New York City offers only associate and bachelor’s degrees, this changes graduation rates somewhat. The 4-year graduation rate is 25% and the 6-year graduation rate is a little higher at 33%. These numbers are significantly lower than average. However, that could be due to a high percentage of part-time students and those who finish their degrees elsewhere or may indicate the difficulty of completing a degree online. It does indicate that students will have to be mindful of how long they are taking to complete their degrees.

Luckily, students who have to work can take evening or online classes; meaning there is a great level of flexibility for those who are serious about completing their degree.

The most popular degree programs from most to least for associate degrees are: business, management, marketing and related support services; homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, and related protective services; health professions and related programs; computer and information sciences and support services; and legal professions and studies.

For bachelor’s degrees, the most popular programs are business, management, marketing and related services; homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, and related protective services; health professions and related programs; legal professions and studies; and computer information sciences and support services.
