Since its founding in 1923, Rowan University has evolved from a teacher preparation college to a bustling regional university that's ranked among the best public universities in the North by U.S. News and World Report. The Princeton Review included Rowan in its latest edition “The Best Northeastern Colleges” and included the Rohrer College of Business in its edition of the “Best 295 Business Schools” from among more than 1,800 business schools. Today, Rowan's more than 18,000 students choose from more than 74 bachelors and 51 masters degree programs, four doctoral programs and two professional programs. The university is one of just 56 institutions in the country with accredited programs in business, education, engineering and medicine. In December 2018 Carnegie reclassified Rowan as an R2 (high research activity) institution, naming it one of just 139 colleges and universities out of more than 4,300 across the nation to hold that distinction.
Rowan University’s main campus is located in Glassboro, N.J., 20-miles southeast of Philadelphia, and it has a branch campus and medical school in Camden and a second medical school in nearby Stratford. Rowan is the second university in the country to offer M.D. and D.O. medical-degree granting programs. The institution is also home to the South Jersey Technology Park, which fosters the translation of applied research into commercial products and processes. Its business incubator also supports that mission. The University boasts seven colleges – William G. Rohrer College of Business, Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering and colleges of Communication & Creative Arts, Education, Humanities & Social Sciences, Performing Arts, and Science & Mathematics. In addition, the University has five Schools –Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, Rowan School of Osteopathic Medical, School of Earth & Environment, School of Health Professions, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Global Learning and Partnerships.
The Southern New-Jersey/Philadelphia area offers abundant professional and recreational opportunities. While many areas in the Washington-Boston corridor are synonymous with high cost of living, Southern New-Jersey/Philadelphia’s cost of living is reasonable. The Philadelphia International Airport is a hub of American Airlines and offers 99 domestic and 39 international non-stop destinations.
