In keeping with the mission of the University, to provide access and excellence, the College has a reputation for providing academic programs of high quality and for its community outreach. In an effort to make professional education more accessible to working adults and individuals living distant from the University, it provides the option of Web-assisted education in most programs and Web-based graduate programs in Accounting and Health Sciences.

The D.Sc. in Civil Security Leadership, Management and Policy prepares individuals to assume executive level security positions within government, business, and higher education. The three distinct areas recognized by ASIS International – international/national, corporate and information assurance/cyber security – form the foundation for this generalist, scholar-practitioner program. New Jersey City University has been recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence by the National Security Agency since 2009.
