THE POWER OF A BERRY DEGREE: LIFELONG VALUE

Berry graduates cross the graduation stage with momentum, purpose and often with jobs in hand. But that's just the beginning. The full value of their education — deep knowledge in their fields, applicable skills and ethics — plays out as they advance their careers and lead in their communities.

What's behind this success? A journey unique to each student yet grounded in common experiences:

  • Rigorous intellectual inquiry
  • A four-year plan for personal and professional success
  • Eight semesters of paid, practical work experiences
  • The support of mentors and a caring community
  • A campus rich in natural beauty and opportunities

As agile learners with a stellar work ethic, Berry graduates make each other — and the world — better. 

"BERRY COLLEGE IS OUR GO-TO DESTINATION FOR HARDWORKING, PASSIONATE PEOPLE THAT HELP US BECOME BETTER AS A COMPANY."
