Welcome, and thank you for considering New Jersey City University in your college search.

Earning a college degree requires personal sacrifice with the realization that the results will transform your future for yourself and for your family. Our office is here to support your exploration of the countless opportunities available to you at NJCU.

I would personally like to invite you to engage with us. To make sure you can get all of your questions answered, we have appointed an Admissions Counselor for your area. I encourage you to reach out and introduce yourself, so we can support you through this exciting and important time in your life. You can also schedule a campus visit  to explore our campus and learn more about NJCU in person.

As an NJCU alum, I know exactly how transformative an NJCU education can be. I look forward to meeting you and showing you how NJCU can help you become your best.

Go Knights!
