Edgewood College

Overview of Edgewood College

---

The college is a private, not-for-profit school, affiliated with the Roman Catholic church. There is campus housing available, in which you and your roommates may choose to live while you’re in school.

As a student, you’re able to earn certificates (one- and two-year) and degrees ranging from bachelor’s up to doctor’s degrees (both research-based and for professional practice). The student-to-faculty ratio is excellent at 10 to 1, so you’ll be able to see your professor quickly if you have questions about your classes.

If you took AP classes and passed an AP exam, you’ll be able to receive college credit for them. Dual-credit students are also able to earn college credit for their classes. If you spent some time volunteering with disadvantaged groups, you may also receive credit for life experiences. This is especially helpful for adults returning to earn their bachelor’s or a master’s degree.

You’re in school to learn - but you may also have a part-time job so you can earn the money you need for necessities. However, working hours often interfere with scheduled classes, so what do you do? If you’re willing to make the effort to talk to your advisor or the Dean of Students, you’ll learn that Edgewood College does offer both evening classes (not degree programs) and distance (online) classes (again, not degree programs). You’ll be able to work and attend at least some classes, which can make your schooling that much easier to complete on schedule.

The 4-year graduation rate is 41% and the 6-year graduation rate is 64% - some students may have decided to remain in college longer to finish degree programs that require higher credits or because they shifted their majors partway through their college years.
