Truly Equal Access to Education
We’ve focused our efforts on quality, accessibility, affordability, and service, to expand educational opportunities, build up communities, and help students like you soar.
Affordability
The key to accessibility is affordability, and NJCU is proud to be one of the most affordable public colleges in the state, extending our low tuition rate to all students — in- and out-of-state. We also award over $20 million each year, including grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, and 80% of students receive financial aid. And beginning in Fall 2024, your books are included in your tuition rate — there will be no extra fees. At NJCU, money should never be an obstacle to advancing your education.
Location
Thanks to our proximity to the light rail system, bus services, and PATH stations, students have easy access to endless cooperative education and internship opportunities found in New York City (just 3 miles away) and throughout Jersey City, including Wall Street West, home to the NJCU School of Business.
Community
We’re proud of our close, inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment. At NJCU you’ll find more than 100 countries represented and 50+ languages spoken, making ours the #1 most diverse campus in New Jersey. No matter who you are or where you come from, you’re welcomed like family here.
