They have approximately 3,800 students and around 430 teachers; the academic year cost is around US$22,000.

The original name of the school founded by Lawrence Berk was Schillinger House of Music, in honor to Professor Joseph Schillinger. Berk changed the name of the school in honor to his son Lee Berk, the name of the school creates confusion with the University of California in Berkeley.

When Berklee was founded almost every music school was centered in classical music, so Berklee was intended to provide formation in jazz, rock and some other contemporary musical styles not available in other schools.

Berklee evaluates musical and academic history to select their students and its acceptance rate if of 42%.
