At New Jersey City University, goals and dreams are right at home. NJCU is large enough to provide world-class opportunities for learning. Yet our classes are small enough to afford a highly-personalized experience that empowers students to realize their greatest aspirations.

It begins with academic excellence. NJCU's colleges of arts and sciences, education and professional studies offer 43 undergraduate degree programs and 27 masters programs and 2 doctoral programs, including emerging and interdisciplinary fields. A student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and average class size of 24 translate to exceptional attention from a dedicated, innovative and involved faculty.
