(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 20, 2008 -- Berkeley College is pleased to announce it has received approval from the New Jersey Presidents’ Council to offer a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Health Services Management. The new degree will be offered at the Garret Mountain, Paramus, Newark and Middlesex locations as well as through Berkeley College Online.

Offering a Bachelor’s degree in Health Services Management at Berkeley’s New Jersey campuses is consistent with the College’s mission and long-standing commitment to provide quality, student-centered, professional education, especially in a field that is experiencing a shortage of personnel and is continuing to grow
