PLAN YOUR VISIT

Take Smart Risks

At Rowan, bold ideas don’t stay ideas. We take smart risks that respond to real needs, including the launch of New Jersey’s first veterinary school to expand access to care and drive innovation in animal, human and environmental health. Here, ambition is matched with planning, collaboration and purpose, empowering you to push boundaries responsibly and make meaningful change.

Do Work That Matters

Change doesn’t wait, and neither do we. At Rowan, we’re committed to doing work that matters with purpose, courage, and drive that doesn’t need permission. In our Civil & Environmental Engineering program, students work together to turn bold ideas into reality – like 3D-printing concrete structures. These innovations are paving the way for faster, more sustainable construction methods that will redefine the communities of tomorrow.

Roll Up Your Sleeves

We break the traditional academic mold by placing professional tools in your hands early on, ensuring you roll up your sleeves and don’t just study concepts, you execute them. As a first-year student, Allan Wylie was already calling live games for the Delaware Blue Coats, a powerful example of how Rowan gives students real responsibility and real experience from the start.

Thrive on Your Terms

With resources that meet you where you are, Rowan empowers you to take that first step, trust your timeline, and define success on your own terms. That’s exactly what Crystal Toomer did after 30 years away from school, finding the freedom to restart her educational journey when the time was right, balancing family, work, and purpose through the flexibility of online learning.

Show Up for Each Other

At Rowan, support isn’t something you have to earn, it’s built into the culture. Our strength is each other, a community that lifts as it strives. Opportunities like our Recharge and Connect Retreat give students space to unplug, reflect and build meaningful connections, surrounded by people who push, support and believe in your dreams just as fiercely as their own.
