Academic
Support
It's virtually impossible for most other schools to match the academic and
personal support structure available to students at Bloomfield College. The
culture of the College is built around this mission. And the school's focus
is unmistakable: to provide every student the resources and individualized
attention they need to turn their dreams into action and accomplishment.
Individual needs vary.
Some students may need to sharpen writing
or math skills; others will look for
help in mastering an upper-level technology
or science course, or in preparing for
a high-pressure professional exam; international
students or non-native speakers may
seek to strengthen their English for
academic work.
Whatever the scenario, individual advisors
and faculty members as well as the staff
of the College's Center for Academic
Development (CAD) dedicate themselves
to delivering a level of academic and
personal support that sets Bloomfield
apart from its peers.
The College's computerized, Web-based
placement testing service also provides
students a convenient and efficient
tool for determining their proficiency
in both math and English. This speeds
test results and enables the Center
to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses
and direct students quickly to the right
tutor or study group. Tutorial scheduling
is also computerized and Web-based,
enabling students to schedule their
individualized study programs in line
with their classes and extracurricular
calendars. Intensive tutoring and language
labs are available during both day and
evening hours.

Honors
and Arts as Catalyst Programs
For students
of exceptional ability and motivation,
the Honors program at Bloomfield offers
special seminars, independent projects,
regular discussions with faculty mentors,
and the opportunity to study abroad.
The Arts as Catalyst program organizes
trips to museums, galleries, and Broadway
and Off-Broadway shows. On campus, it
sponsors events ranging from poetry,
jazz and theatre productions to art
exhibits and film festivals.
The Wellness Center
The Wellness Center
is composed of the offices for Health
Services and Personal Counseling as
well as the Chaplaincy. Its purpose
is to care for the physical, spiritual
and emotional well-being of the college
community. Services include medical
care and personal counseling, which
are completely confidential, and a full-time
health professional is available 24
hours a day. Workshops are also sponsored
by the Center to promote issues like
healthier living, interfaith dialogue
and community outreach.
A Safe and Secure Campus
Bloomfield
College provides a safe and secure campus
for students, faculty, administrative
staff, employees and visitors. The College's
facilities are for use by students and
College employees, all of whom carry
Bloomfield College ID cards and present
them when requested by College security
personnel. The College community also
joins in College-sponsored safety
education and awareness programs.
And students and staff actively cooperate
individually to keep the College safe
and secure. If you'd like to learn
more, don't hesitate to contact the
College's director of safety for further
