Don't go here. Classes are based on youtube videos. No books, no real instruction. I know some may find this appealing as an easy grab degree, but what are you really getting out of it other than paying back student loans?

They're extremely helpful in getting in, but once you're there... All this to say that I am not satisfied at all. Do not get into debt for this school. There are better schools out there who offer a better curriculum for similar or less $/ year which has professor engagement. Get a good education if you're going to take out loans.
The professors were great, however trying to obtain your transcript is a headache. The institution doesn’t work with parchment or any transcript ordering site. You must order directly through them, when you call to inquire if it has been sent you are told they can’t see that information. They claim they are only able to see transcripts that were emailed, when you ask if you can have it emailed you are then told that they must first confirm it wasn’t mailed. They then let you know the individual who does the mailing is out of the office and will reach Bach out to you, my transcript was ordered over a week ago and now my degree cannot be awarded from my current University because The College of Westchester is lacking in their duties. Stay away from this institution as you will be paying double for classes and in the end you can’t even get your transcript!
Trash. I wasted a year and a half? back in 2014 after high school. I failed the same class twice and I was told I couldn’t attend next semester, that I would have to go to WCC (which I did and I was better off) take the class I failed and would be welcomed back to CW. I come to find out from WCC that they only accepted my credits from English and Math. The rest of my credits weren’t accepted (I wasted my time going to this school and I’m left with paying back over 9k for NOTHING) You’re better off anywhere else. This is just one small building looking for money.
I don't know about the 2 other previous reviews which were negative but my experience at the college of Westchester was and always will be the best I've ever experienced. With smaller class sizes it makes it easier for professors to actually connect which each student, also student life is flourishing despite the downfall due to the rise of pandemic in 2020. And not to mention the facility staff are amazing and very kind as well as understanding

I know some may argue that the cost is too much and the workload is too much but it's important to understand this is a private college not community college so of course it may be a little pricey and the workload is only Alot to some because it speeds up the time till graduation (instead of the standard 4 years expected till graduation of a bachelor's degree the college of Westchester has a expected 3 and a half years till ones graduation date for a bachelor's degree).

The College of Westchester overall is a good choice if you want to graduate fast, are more comfortable in a smaller classroom settings and want more help from professors. I hope this helps all who are looking to apply and join the College of Westchester
I graduated in 1986, with a certificate in computers. Only 2 interviews no job offers. A for profit private trade school. Do not let there corporate promises of jobs after graduation lead you. 10 per cent graduate with no job prospects.
This college is absolutely garbage. Charging students boatload of cash for class. 780 per credit is outrageous. 780*15 credit is $11,700 plus fees. Tuition is $35,100 with An additional $900 for student service fee, per semester. $500+ for books. CW name doesn’t hold any weight on you diploma. You will not get a job just because you attended this school. This college will leave you drowning in student debt, with no income to pay them back. If I could I would give them negative star. Someone should sue them.
I have not started classes yet but so far this school has offered me the BEST guidance. The staff works one to one with each student, they don't rush or pressure you. They seem to be your cheerleader until you graduate and they don't let you fall. I love how friendly everyone has been, it motivates me to keep going. The school seems very small which makes me more focus more, a little pricey yes but the money is worth it when they provide you such a good team and service. I am very satisfied as of now =)

2023 update: I got my Associates in 2018 & Bachelor in 2020. Thank you College of Westchester for helping me through my busy full time job.

This is a great college to go to because they do teach you the fundamentals you need to take into the business world. the teachers are very friendly and overall the college is great place to learn. the staff really do attend to your needs and make sure they work with you to make sure you pass with a good grade. You can actually talk to the teachers about anything and they make you feel at home and they want you to succeed.
