Berry College is committed to providing a well rounded education of the head, heart and hands. The hands component includes learning that comes from work experiences. While most students are employed through the on-campus work program, many students find off-campus jobs, internships or co-operative education opportunities. Students working on campus generally average 10 hours per week. The maximum number of hours a student is allowed to work while enrolled full time in classes is 20 hours per week.
At Berry College, because students work and serve each other, an extraordinary sense of community is created. Students are participants in the life and work of the college as well as consumers of the educational program.
In Berry's early history, all students worked because they had to. Today, though the program is not mandatory, many students work to gain the dimension to the educational program that most colleges cannot offer. The learning derived from the work experience ranges from basic work skills to educationally related skills. A Berry graduate can have several years of work experience reflected on his/her resume.
Over 90 percent of Berry's graduates have worked on campus, and nearly all the rest have gained work experience through off campus employment.
It is our goal that all Berry graduates gain a significant work experience while at Berry.
