For students, NJCU is nothing short of transformative. We provide an affordable, diverse environment and an exceptionally supportive faculty, enabling students to thrive as scholars and graduate as thoughtful, high-achieving, worldly professionals—who then go on to be NJCU alumni game changers in their own right. 

Our 47 undergraduate and 30 graduate degree programs include well-established disciplines, but NJCU is also an academic innovator. We're often among the first to introduce degrees in new and emerging fields like Business Analytics and Data Science, Cyber Security, Educational Technology and more.

Our exceptionally supportive faculty help students thrive and pursue their dreams. Nearly 90% of our students say that their professors truly care about them. But beyond that, NJCU faculty are also game-changers in their respective fields. They break new ground in research, transform the business world, and perform on world-renowned stages. 

NJCU is the educational anchor institution in Jersey City. Throughout its transformation into a new home for financial institutions, burgeoning industries, and waterfront development, we have partnered with the city to ensure the changes directly benefit our students and community members.

Enriching the lives of those in our neighboring communities has always been a priority for NJCU. We’re not only expanding our partnerships with community colleges and bachelor's degree options across the state, we’re broadening our offering of Division 3 varsity sports programs. All of which will give students, student-athletes and entire communities something to cheer about.

We have game-changing initiatives for New Jersey in full swing. Whether creating a home for the arts, bringing science programs to middle- and high-school students or providing professional development and continuing education for adults, we seek to improve the lives of everyone in the Garden State.
