Berea College

Since its founding, Berea has welcomed students from “all nations and climes” to learn and work there. Berea’s educational experience provides students the knowledge and skills to navigate the world successfully. The College provides a challenging yet supportive learning environment. Whether in the classroom, attending a Convocation, interning, studying abroad or linking work with academic goals, the educational experience is truly like no other. Students have experiential learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. The College retains excellent faculty from prestigious graduate programs across the nation and the world.

Because of Berea’s Tuition Promise Scholarships, students pay no tuition and graduate with little or no debt. Since the cost of tuition is already covered, students are able to use grants, such as the Pell grant, to help pay for housing and meals.  As a federally recognized Work College, Berea doesn’t just admit students; it hires them. Student education at Berea involves academic and work components, both deeply grounded in learning.
