Berry became one of the nation's most successful educational experiments combining academic study, student work, and interdenominational Christian religious emphasis. The Academic Programs at Berry College are administered by the Office of the Provost, headed by Dr. Thomas E. Dasher, Provost. Berry offers a strong career orientation in arts, sciences, and professional courses of study. Holdings meet the standards of the American Library Association. Teacher certification is available for grades P-12.
Preprofessional preparation is also available.
Berry offers work experience as part of every student's development. Approximately 85 to 90 percent of the students are employed on campus in 120 job classifications during an academic year. The emphasis is on diversity, in a climate of mutual respect and cooperation. A full-time chaplain, who reports to the president, serves as campus pastor and provides direction to the overall program. This site is maintained by Dave Hall in coordination with Dr. Kathy McKee , Dean of Academic Services.
