About
Rowan University, a public research university established in 1923 in Glassboro, New Jersey, has evolved from its modest start as Glassboro Normal School to the current status after being spurred by a major donation in 1997 from Henry M. Rowan. Spanning 920 acres with additional campuses in Camden and Stratford, the university offers diverse academic programs through 18 schools and colleges, including business, engineering, and medicine. Hosting nearly 23,000 students from all 50 states and over 30 countries, Rowan provides extensive support to international students in the guise of admissions support, orientation, and cultural activities, all within a vibrant campus that features a 200-acre arboretum.
