New Jersey is the Garden State. Rowan is located in the southern part of the state, mostly rural with bedroom communities for the greater Delaware Valley and Philadelphia Area. Within five minutes of campus, one is in beautiful farm country, apple and peach orchards, and forested areas. Weekend trips to the Mountains of Pennsylvania and Maryland provide year round recreational opportunities with excellent winter skiing Facilities. To the east, one finds the finest beaches on the east coast, excellent boating and fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay to the south, and Atlantic City, only 40 miles from campus.
Excellent housing is available and affordable.
Taxes are lower than most areas in the Northeast. Rowan University provides exciting opportunities for all connected with this community of scholars. The Rowan Vision includes our transition to university status in 1997, the admission of the first class to the new College of Education Doctorate in Educational Leadership, and the growth in the size and quality of our student body. The new Rowan College of Engineering moved into the just built Engineering Building, Rowan Hall, and graduated its first class in 2000. Rowan University is on the move to provide educational leadership as southern New Jersey's Regional University as we enter the new century.
