The mission of the College of Professional Studies is to educate individuals from diverse communities to succeed in their professional goals and personal aspirations and to effectively contribute to society. Our engaging learning environment encourages students to become self-motivated learners who can think analytically, locate resources, solve problems creatively, and master essential technical skills.

The College attracts career-minded students who are eager to learn skills that are most critical to launching or advancing their professional lives, and our  learning community welcomes both traditional and non-traditional students. NJCU's urban location is an integral part of the student experience, and is the perfect setting for educating students who will thrive in today's fast-paced world.

Faculty

The CPS faculty are experts in their field of scholarship, commit to a high degree of service to the community, and strive to improve their teaching as new resources, technology, and platforms become available. Many of our faculty have a professional background in their discipline and some actively still work in their chosen profession. The CPS faculty care deeply about their students and ensure student success is our number one priority.

Community College Students

Since CPS offers a variety of professional degrees, many community college students transfer in to NJCU in order to graduate with a Bachelor’s in their chosen field. CPS continues to establish relationships with academic departments from many community colleges across the state so be sure to contact the Dean’s office if you would like to learn how you can transfer into one of the CPS degree programs.
