Undergraduate Admission Process for Adult Applicants

Undergraduate Admission Process for Adult Applicants

Adult Students bring with them life and career experience; they offer a voice unrepresented by any other student population. It makes them critically important to the community, the classroom, and to their fellow students. It is never too late to make a life change and we, here at Bloomfield College, are overjoyed to be a part of this step.

An Adult Student is one that is 25 years of age or above at the start of their first term.  This includes first-time freshmen that have acquired a high school diploma or GED. Adult students who have previously attended college are considered transfer applicants and should follow the admission procedure at Admission Process - Transfer Student.
