When you're deciding on a school or college, you look at what makes it better than all the others. Here are four major advantages of an Eastwick Education that have established us as one of the most reputable leaders in specialized education.

Hands-on Training:
Each of our programs features a hands-on learning component, where students practice with similar equipment and procedures used by employers in the area, and may include clinical work with patients. This helps ensure our graduates have the confidence and real-world skills to succeed on the job.

Strategic Partnerships:
Eastwick shares a wide variety of beneficial accreditations and partnerships with leaders in the community, ranging from some of the biggest employers to the most reputable hospitals and community organizations. These local connections allow us to offer unique job placement opportunities to our students, matching them to employee demands in the area.

In-Demand Education:
Utilizing these local relationships, Eastwick College and the HoHoKus Schools are able to offer programs specifically-designed for the most in-demand careers in the New York metro area. Most recently, we received approval from the NJ Board of Nursing to offer a registered nursing associate degree, becoming the first private sector college in the state to do so! Other in-demand programs include ultrasound, licensed practical nursing (LPN), surgical technology, and a unique ESL nursing program.

Focus on Philanthropy:
Charity work is a key part of student life at Eastwick College and the HoHoKus Schools. Students regularly help organize food drives, bake sales, disaster relief fundraisers, and blood drives. For every dollar they raise, Eastwick College and the HoHoKus Schools will match the donation.
