Since its founding in 1855, William Paterson University has grown to become a comprehensive, public, liberal arts institution committed to academic excellence and student success. Accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges, it offers 30 undergraduate and 18 graduate degree programs as well as professional development programs through its five colleges: Arts and Communication, Business, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science and Health.

Ten thousand full- and part-time students from a diversity of back- grounds are enrolled at the University. Occupying a 370-acre, wooded hillside campus, the University is located in the beautiful rolling hills of suburban Wayne, New Jersey, within an hour of the ocean, the high- lands, and New York City.

As a state-supported institution, the University offers students the value of a first-rate education at a fraction of the cost experienced by those at private colleges and universities. It also offers a wide variety of student activities, modern on-campus housing, and the most up-to-date educational facilities. Financial aid is available to qualified students.

Life at William Paterson can be exciting and challenging. To make arrangements to visit the University and the College of Education, or for more information about our graduate programs, telephone the Office of Graduate Studies at 973.720.2237.
