Admission Guide
Bloomfield College accepts applications through a rolling admissions process, meaning you can apply throughout the year and receive decisions within weeks of submitting your materials. You need to submit your high school transcript, a personal statement, and one letter of recommendation. SAT or ACT scores are optional for most programs.
The nursing program operates differently from the college's general admissions process. Nursing applicants face additional requirements including prerequisite coursework in sciences and math, and the program maintains a competitive selection process due to limited clinical placement spots in the region.
Housing fills up quickly despite the college's small size, so submit your housing application as soon as you're accepted if you want to live on campus. The residence halls house about half of all students, and you'll need to pay a housing deposit to secure your spot.
New student orientation runs for two days before classes begin each semester. You'll register for classes during orientation, meet with your academic advisor, and complete any remaining enrollment paperwork. The college assigns each student an advisor based on their intended major.
Financial aid processing moves faster than at larger institutions, but you still need to complete the FAFSA early. The financial aid office works directly with students throughout the year to adjust aid packages as circumstances change.
The campus sits in a residential area of Bloomfield, with easy access to both Newark and New York City via public transportation. Most students either live on campus or commute from nearby communities in northern New Jersey.
