It’s 2pm at Rowan. The studio lights are on, and a dancer is rehearsing choreography for a performance later this week.
Rowan prepares students for what comes next by refusing to limit what comes first. Here, students pursue multiple interests, work across disciplines, and define success on their own terms.
“All of my professors knew me by name, and they went above and beyond to get to know me as a student and how I learn the best.”
– Natalie Donisi '22, M'23

Hands-on and boundary-crossing, this is what happens when research refuses to stay in one lane.
For professors at Rowan, expert instruction is just the beginning. From pioneering new treatments in medicine to launching companies, writing national policy, and mentoring student researchers, Rowan’s faculty extend their impact far beyond the classroom.
