ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø began in 1865 as Trenton Business College, created to train professionals for the rapidly changing, industrialized economy emerging after the Civil War. What started as a private business school has grown into a comprehensive university that remains driven by relevance, innovation and opportunity.

Today, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø is a mid-sized, highly residential institution offering a diverse and inclusive environment where students pursue bold academic goals across a wide range of disciplines. With strong undergraduate and graduate programs in business, the sciences, the arts, education, counseling, and leadership, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø prepares students not just for careers, but for lives of impact. In 2017, the University launched its first doctoral program: the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø's evolution has been shaped by vision and expansion. In 1959, the University began relocating from downtown Trenton to a more expansive 280-acre campus in Lawrence Township, New Jersey. In 1992, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø merged with Westminster Choir College, adding a campus in Princeton and deepening its commitment to music and the performing arts. Two years later, in 1994, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø officially achieved university status.

Today, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø is home to three academic colleges:

• Norm Brodsky College of Business
• College of Arts and Sciences
• College of Education and Human Services

At the heart of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø’s mission is the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø PROMISE, a commitment shared by students, alumni, faculty, and staff to lead lives of purpose, integrity, and impact. It reflects the University’s belief that education should empower individuals not only to succeed, but to serve and inspire.

Through nearly 160 years of transformation, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø has stayed true to its mission: to empower students with knowledge, skills, and confidence to shape the world ahead.
