In 1985, after a long tenancy in Ridgewood, the Bergen campus of Berkeley College moved to its own building in Waldwick and now has over 400 day and evening students enrolled in degree and certificate programs. The Waldwick campus offers the charm of a quiet suburban town, with the convenience of being located near Route 17, Interstate 287, and the Garden State Parkway for students in northern New Jersey, Orange, and Rockland counties, and New York City. Students enjoy being only minutes away from Paramus, the mall capital of the world, featuring such major shopping spots as Paramus Park, Garden State Plaza, and The Fashion Center. For train commuters, the Waldwick station is only two blocks from the campus.
Ample parking is provided adjacent to the building.
The Waldwick building is a spacious, two-story brick facility situated between the high school athletic fields and the municipal swimming pool. It provides students with inviting, air-conditioned classrooms, an auditorium, a Library, and a student lounge with provisions for outside deck dining. Students enrolled in the Fashion program enjoy special classrooms equipped for viewing new styles in fashion from around the world and for professional demonstrations. There are also fashion workshops and simulated display units where students can exercise their creativity and gain practical experience. The Bergen campus, located only a short bus ride from the heart of New York City's design centers and museums, enjoys the distinction of being the Berkeley campus where the Interior Design program is offered.
