Stockton University puts students first!

Students can choose from more than 160 areas of study at Stockton's newly expanded campus in Galloway or its campus on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City.
The Health Sciences Center and Unified Science Center 2 complete a new Academic Quad on Stockton's 1,600-acre Galloway campus in the protected National Pinelands Reserve of southern New Jersey.
The new buildings feature research labs, a greenhouse and Sustainability and Exercise Science labs. The Health Sciences Center includes simulation labs where students get hands-on experience.
Beachfront Living and Learning
Stockton University Atlantic City includes an Academic Center, beachfront Residential Complex for 533 students, retail sites and a parking garage.

A special 12-month housing rate is offered in Atlantic City for students who want to stay during the summer to work, complete internships or accelerate their academic studies.

Admissions
Overall
From The School
Admission to Stockton is competitive, but we encourage students from all backgrounds to apply. Every application received is evaluated based on both demonstrated proficiency and potential for success on the college level.
Stockton operates on rolling admission. This means students may apply for admission to the fall or spring term and receive an admission decision when their application files are completed. For most freshman majors, the deadline for fall admission is May 1. Check our website for special program deadlines. Transfer student deadlines for fall and spring admission is flexible. Application fee: $50. Enrollment deposit: $250. Housing deposit: $150.
Freshman Application Requirements: Application, essay, official high school transcript, SAT and/or ACT scores if required by major, TOEFL for international students. Suggested: letters of recommendation.
Test Optional: For freshman admissions. Students can choose to provide SAT or ACT scores when applying for admission. Once accepted, they can submit standardized test scores or take Accuplacer subject-specific exams to determine placement for freshman math and writing courses. Stockton recognizes that standardized test scores are not always the best predictor of academic ability. The test optional admission policy will provide greater access to students who are successful in the classroom.
Transfer Student Application
Requirements: official transcripts from ALL colleges attended. Transfer students with fewer than 15 earned college credits at the date of application must provide official high school transcripts or high school equivalency certificate (GED), if fewer than 15 earned college credits and applying to non-test optional majors, SAT or ACT scores are also required. Transfers with 15-24 earned college credits who have not attained an associate degree at the date of application must provide proof of high school graduation by a copy of high school diploma, transcripts with graduation date, or GED results.
Students graduating from a New Jersey county/community college with an AA/AS degree in a Stockton-approved transfer program may be granted up to a maximum of 64 credits upon notification of acceptance. An associate in applied science (AAS) degree is evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
Stockton's Transfer Pathways program is an exciting dual admission option with participating New Jersey community colleges. Students entering this program receive conditional acceptance to Stockton while they work on their associate degree at one of our partner community colleges.

Students Say
Stockton University offers “a warm and welcoming environment to help students grow academically and socially.” It’s the sort of school, according to undergrads, that “will go above and beyond to make sure a student is settled and comfortable.” To do this, the school offers a relatively low price tag, a location students love, and small class sizes that “make student-teacher interaction … simple and easy compared to large lecture halls.” Those conversations are enhanced by wonderful teachers that are “helpful, informative, and willing to do anything for you to succeed outside and inside the class.” (The faculty is also said to “give great life advice.”) Overall, professors come off as “pleasant and down-to-earth,” and appear to be “truly in love with their careers and [act as though] they truly care about their students.”
The classroom’s not the only place to get a Stockton education. Undergrads note that the school’s programs “offer lots of hands-on, real-world experience” through “research, internships, and on-campus jobs.” Two such examples are the “good partnerships with the FAA and Atlanticare Hospital that create a lot of internships.”

From The School
Co-curricular activities are an extremely important aspect of the Stockton experience providing countless opportunities for students to develop leadership, social, and recreational skills outside the formal academic setting. Stockton offers over 200 clubs and organizations, 29 sororities and fraternities, and a Rocket League Esports team.
Stockton Athletics
At the intercollegiate level, Stockton fields 19 NCAA Division III sports teams in men's baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and soccer; women's basketball, rowing, field hockey, lacrosse, golf, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball; and men's and women's cross country and track and field. Stockton participates in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), two of the most competitive Division III conferences in the nation. The University boasts a sports center with fitness facilities, racquetball courts, weight rooms and outdoor recreational facilities. Students, faculty and staff members join in an extensive intramural and club sport program.
OspreyAdvantage is Stockton's student co-curricular record designed to capture students' out-of-the-classroom experiences and involvement during their time at Stockton University. This includes all experiences that complement a student's academic experience, including membership in a student organization, fraternity, or sorority, University-wide leadership positions and attendance at educational, leadership, or service-related programs. It gives students an opportunity to reflect on leadership roles, accomplishments, and personal growth and development. Students are encouraged to use OspreyAdvantage as a resource when applying for professional positions and admission into graduate school.

Students Say
The student body at Stockton has plenty of words to describe themselves, including: “unique,” “friendly,” “casual,” and “welcoming.” While some definitely bemoan the fact that there are “few students who come from surrounding states and even fewer who come from further away,” others stress that their peers are still “very diverse and different from one another.” It’s a large school, and some claim that “you never see the same person twice.” Even still, one student claims that “everyone feels comfortable around one another” at Stockton. That includes students of any age, which one student supports by adding, “I [think] Stockton is a great school for people of any age to come back to in order to get a degree later in life.” Then again, perhaps it’s easy to get along when these “curious,” “hard working” students “all share a common goal: to succeed.”

Students Say
You’ll have plenty of opportunities for socializing at Stockton: Students frequently “congregate in the main campus center … or in the food court where you can eat with your friends and watch TV.” Plus, there are “lots of fun and free events” on campus, including bingo, craft, and movie nights. Those looking for exercise are also pleased, as “people take advantage of the trails” around campus and “utilize the gym … all the time.” For more outdoor fun, “you can rent hammocks … on campus, as well as camping gear, kayaks, and canoes all for free.” And even those who are seeking some entertainment off-campus will not be disappointed: Ocean City and Atlantic City are both close enough that students often take trips over the weekend. Note that since “the school has a lot of commuters,” you might find “there aren’t a lot of people on campus during the weekends.”

Stockton University in New Jersey advertises itself as New Jersey’s Green College—and rightfully so. Located in the Pinelands National Reserve, Stockton has long been ahead of the green curve, since the college installed an ahead-of-its-time geothermal heating and cooling system to save energy for all buildings that comprised the academic complex back in 1993. The geothermal project has since expanded and provides up to 1,650 tons of cooling capacity to the campus. Stockton has signed the ACUPCC. The new Campus Center (150,000 square feet) is LEED Gold. It houses the Offices of Admissions, Financial Aid, Academic Advising and the Career Center, as well as a food court, coffee shop, bookstore and theatre. The college—in partnership with private sector developers—has invested in solar energy, building a total of 2.1 megawatts in solar arrays on campus including rooftop installations and shade canopies over parking lots. The college recently completed an unusual Permeable Parking Lot, which reduces the amount of storm water flowing off of the parking area. The college is also home to the Stockton University Coastal Research Center (CRC), which functions as a teaching, training and research facility for Stockton students. For students seeking a formal green education, the college offers bachelor's degrees in both environmental science and sustainability, and a professional science master's in environmental science. Campus groups like Stockton Action Volunteers for the Environment, Water Watch, and the Sustainability Living/Learning Community offer students the opportunity to get involved outside the classroom as well.
