Bergen enrolls nearly 12,000 students in degree and certificate programs.

Bergen offers academic programs in areas such as aviation, business and culinary arts, with a Center for Online Learning where students can earn a degree entirely online in one of six fields. The College also offers programs through its Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development for adults seeking to learn new skills or enhance existing ones.

Also at the open house, prospective students can explore Bergen’s vibrant campus environment that includes more than 50 student clubs and organizations and holistic student support services.

Designed to help ensure students can remain enrolled and succeed in their goals of earning a college education, the open house will offer workshops on financial aid and programs such as the Community College Opportunity Grant that offers a tuition-free Bergen experience for qualified students. Bergen also offers a nationally recognized tutoring center, experiential learning facilities such as the Health Professions Integrated Teaching Center and a one-stop student service center recognized by the federal government as a best practice in supporting student success.
