Stockton University Reviews

"When I wanted growth, Stockton gave me the tools to find myself. When I wanted diversity, Stockton provided me with an African American Studies minor. When I needed advice, Stockton had fantastic advisors with a multitude of experience. When I was facing anxiety about attending a new school, Stockton met me with warm smiling faces and a small enough campus that it never felt overwhelming. Stockton was and will forever be a place I think of fondly and recommend to anyone looking to not only explore themselves, but also different facets of life. As a domestic violence case manager who is working towards her LPC and eventual PSY.D, I walk proudly knowing I would not be where I am without the individuals I encountered at Stockton University.Read Less"

"Pursuing my Marine Science degree at Stockton University in New Jersey prepared me for a career working in the marine science field, and pursuing my masters in the field. The course work was taught both in the classroom and in the field. Employers like to see that you have experience in the field working hands on. I would highly recommended high school students that want to go into the field of marine science to look into Stockton University for their college."

"Stockton is a small school. You will get the benefits of small class sizes, dedicated professors, and knowing a good majority of the people in your program. With the small school you are able to get recommendation letters from professors who actually know who you are. You network with your classmates who may be co-workers or resources for you in the future. You even know the food service people by name. Stockton is a quality education at an affordable price, that any student would be lucky to go to.Read Less"

"Stockton University's education provided me the stepping stone I need to gain more opportunities in the world. It's a place where you can build dreams and begin a story unlike any one could have imagined. It's definitely a school to appreciate and love. I enjoyed my time at Stockton. It's a place that really helps you move towards bigger and better dreams. It was my stepping stone before going off into a masters and law degree program. For the many who aren't sure, I'd say give it a shot. It's a place where many came to dream and where many have left achieving.Read Less"

"I had an excellent experience at Stockton, particularly because of the professors. Every single professor I had was engaging and clearly cared about their students. They were sure to make themselves available outside of class to help with the material or give advice. I created my own major through the LIBA degree, so I worked closely with professors from a variety of departments, and had nothing but positive experiences. The small class sizes were another advantage because it gave students and professors the opportunity to get to know each other in the classroom. Another huge strength of the school is its location. I was lucky enough to live on campus, and the simple act of walking home through the Pine Barrens every day was an opportunity to take a deep breath and unwind on stressful days. There are also a bunch of other trails to hike on if you want some more outdoor time. I loved getting to see the turtles, ducks, herons, and other wildlife that live on campus. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to build relationships with their peers and professors, live somewhere beautiful, and get a well-rounded education.Read Less"

"Stockton University did a great job at getting me ready for the work force. Not only did I graduate with my certification to teach but I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics which distinguished me from others during the interview process. The professors are extremely personable and helpful."

"I feel that the biggest pro of the program is how well they communicate what is needed to do well. Also, the class above you helps in mentoring, which makes you feel welcomed into the program and helps if you have any questions. The one con of this program is that it is very hard to get into if you did not go to the school for undergrad."

"I loved it. It was just small enough but just big enough and has recently become an accredited University."

"A lot of people think of this university as second-choice and cheap. That makes me really upset. I've wanted to go here forever, and the people are really nice. You'll see people you know all the time."

"Loved my college - I lived at home bout 15mins away and commuted since I was also working as a professional dancer in Atlantic City. I had no interest in college dorm life and when I got the urge I would visit friends at their colleges for the party experience. Stockton was laid back, hippy college which again I loved. Easy to navigate around, mostly awesome professors. I would go back there again in a heartbeat if I wanted to further my degree."

"The graduate program I am currently enrolled is a hybrid program . It is tailored to the working adult with many responsibilities. Many of the required courses are only available once per year, therefore it is necessary to build your schedule and stay on track."

"I believe the pros of the program are having wonderful professors that truly care about our education and learning. We have the same professors for multiple classes, which gives us the ability to really get to know one another. The professors are always there through multiple means of communication for the students for any questions or concerns that may arise throughout the semester. I believe I am gaining a great deal of knowledge in each subject area. However, some cons of the program is that the graduate portion is fairly new (only about 3 years). This does not give us the greatest networking. Also, there does not seem to be many opportunities given for us to do things outside the classroom to extend our learning.Read Less"

"The graduate criminal justice program here at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey has come a long way in the few years it has existed. The faculty within the graduate program pushes their students to exceed and surpass all goals and expectations. While the workload is hefty, the gratification from completing a course with an excellent grade outweighs the time and effort spent achieving this degree. The network here at Stockton is phenomenal. We have connections and resources with many criminal justice agencies, both locally and nationally. The educate I am currently receiving here is comparative to that of any other college or university.Read Less"

"Cant wait to get to the PT program at this school. I got into one of the 34 spots out of 2000 applicants. It is in a rural suburban type setting and the campus is beautiful. They held a welcoming session for Grad students that allowed me to ask all the questions I needed,Now I have to find every penny I can to pay for this program after finishing my BA at Rowan this May."

"I believe that this program will help me achieve all of my career goals. I am very happy I chose to go here. Their Social Work program is very good!"

"Pros : Professors are always helpful and ready to solve your problems. Professor are always helpful. Cons: nothing much around the campus to eat. Transportation is big problem."

"The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is a great school for business students. There are multiple professors and faculty members who want to help you achieve your dreams. I have received help from many professors who guide me in the direction that will make me the most successful. Stockton's environment is unlike any other school, they take the term "ecofriendly" to the next level. I am proud to say I am a student at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey."

"This is an overall decent school, good education. The social life is what you make of it."

"Overall I am very happy with my experience at Stockton. Pros would be the professors and the courses. They are very interested in the subject matter they teach and I think that makes all the difference in how it is conveyed. The workload was fair, especially considering that I'm a mom and I work full time. The content was very relevant to what my career goals are--to become a technology supervisor/liaison between the curriculum leaders and the faculty in a school district. I would highly recommend RSCNJ to anyone!Read Less"

"Everything I have learned in my Grad courses I have been able to apply in my classroom. I feel that I am more prepared to teach all my students since beginning work on my Masters degree."
