Berkeley College-Woodland Park
For-profit College in Woodland Park, NJ. Six-year graduation rate 42%. Median 10-year earnings $40,251.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $40,251, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate is 42%, meaning about three in five students who start do not finish. Median debt at graduation is $23,251, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree. On economic mobility, 4.0% of students travel from the bottom income quintile to the top.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Completion is middling: 42% finish inside six years. Retention is weak: only 55% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 13% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,798 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $27,815 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $25,832 while those at $110k+ pay $38,426. Most students get help: 89% receive grants worth $11,364 on average. 69% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $25,832 |
| $30–48k | $24,600 |
| $48–75k | $29,284 |
