About New Jersey City University

New Jersey City University (NJCU) is a public university in Jersey City, New Jersey, chartered in 1927. It is part of New Jersey's public system of higher education, comprising the School of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and College of Professional Studies. In 2022, the university announced a significant reduction in academic offerings due to a budgetary crisis. By 2024, it was considered financially stable, though still underfunded. A proposed merger with Kean University is anticipated for July 1, 2026, after which the Jersey City campus would be renamed Kean Jersey City. While NJCU offers a range of academic programs, no dedicated architecture school or professional architecture programs leading to licensure were found.
