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. Applications from women, minorities, and physically challenged individuals are encouraged to apply.
