Bloomfield College

Uplifting education

We believe a college should be measured by its ability to improve the lives of its students.

Bloomfield College serves a unique group of students and puts them in position to succeed. We produce results:

Bloomfield College holds the highest success rate among all New Jersey liberal arts colleges and universities in moving students forward in economic standing*. The College is also among the nation’s top colleges for helping students from low-income families enter the middle and upper class⁺.

As the 14^th most diverse liberal arts college in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report in 2017, the College takes pride in its student community. Bloomfield College is the only four-year New Jersey institution to be recognized as a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) and a Hispanic Serving Institution, as well as a Minority Serving Institution.

Commitment to affordability
Bloomfield College helps make reaching your dreams financially possible.

The College proudly offers the lowest full-time tuition rate for any private four-year college or university in New Jersey. Many students attend our small private college for the same or below the direct cost of a public institution, as 94.5% of our students receive grants or scholarships.

We are also committed to cost transparency, having eliminated comprehensive and course fees. That means families know the cost of attendance up front, with no hidden expenses.

SAT/ACT optional
Bloomfield College is test optional, which means you won’t have to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission. We’ve found that high school GPA has been a more reliable predictor of student success on campus.

According to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, institutions that have adopted a test-optional policy experienced an increase in applicants who are more diverse and demonstrate higher academic quality.
