Ramsey Campus

Eastwick College Ramsey began as the HoHoKus School of Business and Medical Sciences, established in HoHoKus,
New Jersey in 1968 as a career-oriented school. The HoHoKus School became a leader among proprietary schools
and was recognized as such by many educational, medical, and organizational affiliations. HoHoKus School was one
of the first schools in the United States that was not a traditional 4-year college, whose graduates could sit for
appropriate American Medical Technologist (AMT) and Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) certifications.

HoHoKus School was the first nationally-accredited institution approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing to teach
licensed practical nursing. More than 100 hospitals and medical centers provide clinical rotations and externships for
our students.
The school established articulation agreements with local colleges for the transfer of credits and was chosen by
Thomas Edison State College as the first in the state to be affiliated as a "Degree Partner". Since 1985, the American
Council on Education (ACE) evaluated 167 Eastwick College Ramsey courses and determined that they were
equivalent or similar to those taught at the college level, thus issuing college credit recommendations. Due to its
success and leadership, HoHoKus was often regarded as the most reputable career institution in the tri-state area.
In 2008, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education and the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges
and Schools approved HoHoKus' petition to grant associate degrees and become Eastwick College. The
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) granted accreditation in November
2010 to Eastwick College Ramsey's Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Surgical Technology program and
in November 2013 to Eastwick College Ramsey's AAS in Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography. The Accreditation
Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) granted accreditation to the AAS in Occupational Therapy
Assistant program in 2014. The New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education authorized Eastwick College Ramsey in
2015 to exceed its mission and offer the Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography.

Hackensack Campus

Eastwick College Hackensack began as the HoHoKus Hackensack School of Business and Medical Sciences,
established in 1969 as a career-oriented school. Over the years, the school (along with its sister institutions owned
and operated by Eastwick Education, Inc.) became a leader among proprietary schools and was recognized as such
by many educational, medical, and organizational affiliations. The HoHoKus Hackensack School was one of the first
schools in the United States that was not a traditional 4-year college, whose graduates were allowed to sit for the
Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) certification administered by the American Medical Technologists (AMT).
HoHoKus Hackensack was the first nationally accredited institution approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing
to teach a bilingual licensed practical nursing program.
In 2012, the New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education approved the school's petition to become an Eastwick College
campus and grant associate degrees. In 2019, Eastwick College Hackensack implemented the Eastwick International
Study Program in Israel. Eastwick College Hackensack is accredited to award certificates, diplomas, and associate
degrees by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, an organization recognized by the United
States Department of Education.

Nutley Campus

Eastwick College Nutley began as one of the Radio Electronic Television Schools (RETS), the first of which was
established in 1935 in Detroit, Michigan. The New Jersey school was located in Newark when the first students
enrolled in 1957. To accommodate increasing enrollment, the school moved to its present location in 1967. In
1995, RETS was acquired by M. Eastwick Education, Inc. and became the RETS Institute. The name of the school was
changed to HoHoKus RETS-Nutley School of Business, Medical and Technical Sciences in 2005. The institution
became an Eastwick College campus in January 2014. Eastwick College Nutley is accredited to award certificates,
diplomas, and associate degrees by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. The Commission
on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) granted accreditation in November 2015 to
Eastwick College Nutley's AAS in Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography.
