A Message
From Brookdale’s President
Welcome to Brookdale! You join close to 100,000 friends and neighbors
taking advantage of the resources and offerings of the County College of
Monmouth. As one of the largest higher education institutions in New
Jersey, Brookdale takes great pride in continuously challenging the future
– with you in mind.

Did you know that Brookdale is consistently listed as one of the top 50
community colleges in the United States? That we are the number one
Associate Degree granting college in New Jersey?

A nationally recognized leader in technology, Brookdale has invested over


$25 million in its technology infrastructure systems and direct student
technology access services. The $100 million campus facility master plan
has enabled new Counseling, Admission and Registration Centers, a state-
of-the-art Bankier Library as well as a Student Life Center complete with
college and convenience stores, meeting spaces and dedicated space for
student use. The expanded Automotive Technologies building opened in
Spring 2010 and an expanded Arena and new Fitness Lab is expected to be
completed in 2011.

One of every four Brookdale students is enrolled in a class at one of our


Higher Education Centers. All of our Centers have been equipped with the
latest in technology, expansive student success centers and convenient
parking. Extensive renovations have taken place at the Long Branch
Higher Education Center and over $10 million dollars in renovations
have been completed at the Western Monmouth Branch Campus. At
the Wall Higher Education Center, home of the New Jersey Coastal
Communiversity, we provide a broad array of Baccalaureate and graduate
programs - including over 40 degrees available from Georgian Court
University - to record-setting numbers of residents of Monmouth County.

You, our Monmouth County neighbors, are the reason that Brookdale was
founded. You are the reason we continue to grow and challenge the future.
Thanks for joining us!

Peter F. Burnham, Ph.D.
