Bloomfield College's seven academic divisions
are at the heart of our educational mission. The College is structured to
maximize collaborative learning and intensive student-teacher interaction.
Through our seven divisions, we offer students more than 70 liberal arts
and professional programs. All disciplines include capstone courses that focus
on students’ professional
skills. |
The College's 7 Academic Divisions
Accounting, Business and Computer Information
Systems combine the best of liberal
arts studies with practical, professional training. Our liberal arts core
ensures that graduates with a BS in accounting, business administration or
CIS possess the foundational writing, analytical and verbal skills necessary
at every career stage. Accounting majors choose from two concentrations:
the general accounting track or the professional track, which prepares you
to pursue licensing as a Certified Public Accountant. Business Administration
majors choose from seven concentrations: CIS, economics, finance, human resource
management, management, marketing and materials management. Students pursuing
CIS degrees focus on computer programming. CIS majors also have the opportunity
to seek special acceptance in the Masters Program at NJIT.
Creative Arts & Technology is a unique interdisciplinary program that leads to a BA and prepares students to pursue careers in a wide range of highly specialized, dynamic and fast-growing fields, including:
- Animation
- Graphic Design
- Game Development
- Digital Video
- Interactive Multimedia

- Theater
Housed in the College’s historic Westminster Hall, program resources include five electronic media labs equipped with the most advanced design and production tools, a digital print lab, keyboard lab and recording studio. The Hall’s 1,300 square foot art gallery showcases the work of students and noted guest artists. And a newly renovated, 300-seat theatre serves as performance and presentation space for both the CAT program and the College at large.
Education majors may concentrate in elementary/early childhood education, elementary education with subject matter specialization, secondary education (P-12), and special education degree programs. Elementary/early childhood majors are required to select oneof the following co-concentrations: philosophy, political science, psychology, religion or sociology.
Co-concentration
options for all the other education programs are: biology, chemistry,
english, fine arts, history or mathematics. The program offers student-teaching
opportunities in a broad range of settings, including urban, suburban and
specialized schools. Students may also choose to explore international student-teaching
opportunities.
The College’s education programs are accredited by the NJ State Department of Education and attained a Federal Title II Passing rate of 100%. The school is in the process of preparing for national accreditation for teacher education programs (TEAC). The program has also instituted a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, the prestigious International Honor Society in Education, which is dedicated to promoting and recognizing excellence in the education profession.
Humanities offers degrees in English, history, philosophy or religion. Frequently, students majoring in different academic programs - particularly the sciences - minor in one of these areas to broaden their education and expand career options.
Minors
in Spanish or women's studies are also available. Courses in Africana studies
are offered as part of the general education curriculum. Resources include
Web radio facilities; audio recorders for field reporting; a sound studio for
radio and TV interviews; multimedia classrooms, library based language labs
for foreign language study, and online and interactive instruction and work
groups. Faculty and students take advantage of the College's proximity to New
York City to incorporate national and international cultural resources and
events into their studies.
Special opportunities also extend beyond the classroom. Students and faculty involved in women's studies sponsor a literary journal, performances, workshops, film series and gallery exhibits. Creative writing students give public readings, which include college-sponsored poetry slams.
Nursing at the College is almost a century strong and recognized statewide. The program's tradition of excellence traces its origins to the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing, which was established in Newark in 1912.
Today,
the College offers two tracks to a BS in nursing. The traditional
track is four years. The RN track is for registered nurses who hold an associate's
degree or are graduates of a diploma program. The nursing program
is a balance of liberal arts and professional studies. The emphasis is on developing
skills in communications, teaching, critical-thinking, problem solving and
leadership, to be applied in the clinical setting and the broader health-care
arena. The program is designed strictly to serve undergraduates. This ensures
an extremely close teaching and learning partnership between students and full-time
faculty, many of whom are graduates of the College. The BSN program, which
is a member of the National League for Nursing, is accredited by the Commission
on Collegiate Nursing Education and the New Jersey Board of Nursing. The program
is continuously updated to maintain and meet the highest standards.
Natural Science and Mathematics offers programs leading to a BS in biology, chemistry, clinical laboratory sciences, allied health technologies, mathematics or Internet technology. Students from other academic areas often minor in biology or chemistry.
The
College has partnerships with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey (UMDNJ) and articulation agreements with all chiropractic schools
in the country.
Program resources include excellent laboratories, instrumentation and technologies. Faculty teach lab sections directly, with the average student-teacher ratio 14:1. This small group approach offers students virtually one-on-one experiential learning. Science students also may participate directly in "real" or meaningful research, assisting faculty members in studies underwritten by grants from academia, industry or government.
Professors work closely with their students not only in the classroom but as advisors and mentors.
Social and Behavioral Sciences offers programs that lead to a BA in political science, psychology or sociology. Minors are also offered in these disciplines. Political science majors choose a general course of study or concentrate in public administration or public policy. Psychology majors may join the College Psychology Club, which serves as a forum to organize discussions, seminars and community service projects.
The National Honor Society in Psychology is open to psychology students who meet the Society's criteria. The program also offers certificates in industrial/organizational psychology and in diversity training to prepare students to use their skills in the business world. Sociology majors study general sociology or concentrate in criminal justice, a strong foundation for policing, corrections, government or specialized counseling. The College's sociology program also has a well-developed network of projects, internships and career contacts throughout the metro region.
