"Thinking" translates into "doing" at Stockton. Gain hands-on experience in nursing, public health or physical therapy at the two hospitals on campus; conduct computational science or IT research in our high-powered computer labs or at nearby technology centers; "live" a hospitality and tourism internship 24/7 at the Seaview--Stockton's world-class resort; study artistic techniques firsthand through our partnership with the nearby Noyes Museum of Art and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, just an hour away; bask in our beautiful, 2,000-acre campus in the Pinelands National Reserve just minutes from the ocean (a natural lab perfect for our nationally recognized marine science and environmental studies programs).
With our off-campus Instructional Sites at Hammonton, Manahawkin, Woodbine and Atlantic City, students can choose where to take classes as well as when. Our new Atlantic City Gateway campus (opening Fall 2018), features a new wave of opportunity for Stockton students: See stockton.edu/acgateway for details.
Most Stockton students engage in independent study with a faculty mentor. Small classes allow for discussion, debate and discovery--guided by Fulbright scholars, the most-published scientists in the world, and professors who care as much about teaching as research.
Rooted in a deep social and environmental consciousness, Stockton offers extensive service learning and human rights opportunities, and is an international leader in alternative energy research and conservation efforts.
More than 10,000 events annually, more than 130 student clubs and organizations, Greek life, academic and honor societies, intramural and club sports, and study abroad options enhance the Stockton experience. The Ospreys have won NCAA Division III National Championships and tournaments, ECAC titles and All-Americans, not to mention numerous NJAC championship titles and Final Four appearances.
The perfect size, the perfect place, at a public cost: Choose quality--value--distinction. Choose Stockton.
