11 Reasons to Transfer to Stockton
Visit our Transfer OPEN HOUSE on July 23.
Easy Transfer Process.
Stockton University offers students Degree Works, an electronic degree evaluation tool that summarizes your progress toward your degree based on your academic record and will assist you in selecting future courses. Transfer students can use the tool to see exactly which of their transfer credits are taken at Stockton. Degree Works also offers a comprehensive semester-by-semester course planner, look-ahead features for future courses, GPA calculators and what-If evaluations for other majors and minors. For more information, visit stockton.edu/degree-evaluation.
Affordability.
Stockton University’s annual tuition and fees for full-time students are below the average among New Jersey’s senior public colleges. Stockton also offers flat-rate tuition allowing students to take extra credits at no additional cost.
Easy Commute.
A majority of Stockton students come from New Jersey’s Atlantic and Ocean counties. Students who live off-campus can enjoy an easy ride to their courses. With resources like Commuter Connection, Free to Be Early Learning Center for child care and Commuters on the Go, Stockton students living off-campus can enjoy similar experiences to on-campus students.
Service-Learning Opportunities.
Students who wish to impact communities near and far can enjoy classroom and co-curricular activities committed to serving others. Service projects include working with Books Without Borders, beach cleanups, tutoring younger students, visiting the elderly, animal projects, building renovations with Allies in Caring and much more! Those who participate in service-learning activities learn civic innovation and responsibility, form relationships with potential employers, receive recommendations for jobs, and gain experience that will add to a resume or portfolio. Visit stockton.edu/engage for more information on activities and clubs on campus!
Internships.
Stockton students work in a number of internship opportunities throughout New Jersey and beyond. The Washington, D.C. Internship and the Disney College Program are just two popular internship programs offered at Stockton. Internships can be either unpaid or paid, held in the summer or during the academic year, and for credit or not for credit. Test your career possibilities. Visit stockton.edu/career-center.
Location.
The University’s 1,600-acre campus, situated in the Pinelands National Reserve, is New Jersey’s largest university campus.
