(Courtesy of Bergen Community College) Students from Bergen Community College and four-year schools throughout the country will once again have the opportunity to earn credits beginning this May as part of the institution’s summer sessions. Registration for summer and fall classes, which begin Wednesday, Sept. 4, is open online, and will open in person on Tuesday, April 8, at Bergen’s three locations.
Summer classes at the main campus in Paramus, Bergen Community College at the Meadowlands in Lyndhurst, and online include general education requirements such as English Composition, General Biology and Statistics ideal for transfer to many four-year colleges. Students can select from four different sessions of day and evening options, while the institution’s in-county tuition rate of $146.50 per credit provides an affordable alternative to four-year schools.
Registration also opens April 1 for the fall semester. Bergen offers more than 130 degree and certificate programs in areas such as aviation, criminal justice, dental hygiene, fashion design and hospitality at three locations and online.
To register, visit bergen.edu or the College’s locations in Paramus (400 Paramus Road), Lyndhurst (1280 Wall Street West) and Hackensack (355 Main Street). For more information, please call (201) 447-7200.
For students making their college decision, Bergen will sponsor an open house at its main campus (400 Paramus Road, Paramus) Thursday, April 25, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. The event will feature demonstrations, workshops, tours, exhibits and opportunities for potential students and their families to explore all that the college offers. To RSVP, visit bergen.edu/openhouse or email [email protected]. Información disponible en español.
