Rowan Choice offers incoming freshmen a residential college experience at a fraction of the cost. Through our partnership with Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ), Rowan Choice students earn 24-30 college credits through RCSJ while taking classes and living on Rowan University’s campus — at a significant cost savings.
Students fully participate in the on-campus experience, with access to facilities and student-life activities except traveling sports clubs, NCAA Division III athletics and Greek life, but are welcome to play for any of RCSJ’s nationally recognized NJCAA Division III teams.
