A strong liberal arts curriculum forms the core of an education at the beautiful College of New Jersey, where almost 7,000 undergraduates can choose from more than 50 programs spread across the college's seven schools. All courses take "a meticulous approach" to the subject at hand, and the small class sizes "foster close relationships between students and professors," contributing to the college's incredibly high retention rate. The programs here are well-respected and each major provides "a great foundation for people who may look for jobs right out of college." Professional development seminars are "typically packed," and "the competition for on-campus interviews for internships is incredible." TCNJ is a college where students can expect "academic rigor and opportunities to take part in multiple organizations, research, and to grow," but, ultimately, "the college is what a person can make of it."
The professors at TCNJ are "always welcoming and friendly" and "intend to help with any questions or problems a student has." They "put in the effort to help the student succeed," and "programs are very fleshed out and rigorous," as well as being "able to prepare us very well for our careers." Within majors like engineering, nursing, and the sciences, "there is little room to slack off," but all who go here find "a fair balance of academic life with socialness, athletics, or relaxing time." Students also "tend to engage fully in supplementary programs (i.e., lecture, awareness, volunteer, celebratory, or other campus events) often affiliated with their major."
