Caldwell College

At the core of a Caldwell College education is our liberal arts curriculum, designed to guide students to develop critical thinking skills, appreciate diverse cultures, and acquire a moral and civic awareness. Students develop the whole self as they absorb learning through our liberal arts core: the humanities; the physical and biological sciences, and mathematics; and the social sciences.

The knowledge, intellectual skills, sensitivities and creativity you acquire transcend any major of study and profession for a lifetime of growth.

Caldwell College enrolls approximately 2,300 full-time, part-time, and graduate students. Fully qualified faculty members, small class sizes, and a 13:1 student/faculty ratio provide close, personal attention.

Approximately 43 percent of full-time students live on campus. Single, double, and a few quad rooms are available. A 200-bed, apartment-style residence, Dominican Hall, is state-of-the-art, with modern suites, kitchens, and wireless Internet capability.

The food service features extended hours and an expanded menu, with both American and international food selections. All students may have a car on campus.

A variety of clubs and organizations are available. Campus Ministry provides an array of opportunities for students to reach out, including volunteer experiences at a soup kitchen, feeding the homeless in New York City, and rebuilding homes in Appalachia.

An on-campus fitness center, equipped with cardiovascular equipment, provides students with exercise opportunities. Caldwell College fields NCAA Division II teams in men’s baseball, basketball, soccer, and tennis, and in women’s basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball, and sponsors a variety of recreational sports.

No matter your interest, Caldwell College offers you experiences beyond the classroom.

Caldwell at a Glance:

· Location: Located in the picturesque town of Caldwell, New Jersey. Recently, Caldwell was voted the third best place to live in all of New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly Magazine. Offering a stunning campus setting, Caldwell College is only a short walk from town, where students find shops, coffee houses, restaurants, a movie theatre, and anything a student could want.

Another advantage to Caldwell College’s location is its proximity to New York City, just 20 minutes away. Our students use New York City as another classroom, where they can engage in internships and shadowing opportunities, experience cultural events, or shop or catch a game!

Hopping on a bus takes you to lots of great sites in New Jersey, too. A short ride offers a great selection, from the Meadowlands arena to the Prudential Center, and, in just an hour, the Jersey shore.
