About the College

We are one of the largest academic Colleges within Rowan University and, as the home of the majority of Rowan Core courses, we make contact with just about every student who graduates with a Rowan degree. Our College vision is "Breaking boundaries and creating knowledge to benefit our changing world." True to the liberal arts mission, we ask questions fundamental to our increasing complex existence through varied programs of study, with many opportunities of experiential learning and other co-curricular activities. We offer our students a form of education that encourages them to pursue vocations that are rooted in the desire to improve things and make their world a better place.
