Both in and beyond the classroom, we believe nothing teaches like experience. So, we provide varied opportunities, both on and off campus.

Not only can students enjoy coffee shops and parks in Berea, but they have access to internships at leading Fortune 500 businesses and organizations, service opportunities, field experience and more in nearby Cleveland. Students enjoy professional sports, world-renowned fine arts, and even relax at Lake Erie beaches. Small-town charm and big-city opportunities – that's BW!

  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
