Cutting-Edge Programs

An education that rises above the rest.

For more than a century, Montclair State University has been recognized as one of New Jersey’s most distinguished public institutions of higher education. In fact, we have prepared thousands of students for a lifetime of professional and personal success. We stand tall on a reputation for stellar academic programs and research, including more than 300 baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral programs. And we’re always reaching higher. State-of-the-art technology. World-class facilities. Renowned faculty. Uncompromising innovation.

Our innovation is building.

With success comes growth, and at Montclair State, we have an abundance of both. We recently opened two world-class facilities for research and innovation: the Center for Environmental and Life Sciences (CELS) and the Feliciano School of Business building. Both facilities are unrivaled, unprecedented and uniquely positioned to advance science, technology and business in academia and the real world.

Science makes your world go round.

Designed to support current and future environmental and pharmaceutical life sciences research, CELS is working to conserve natural resources and improve the world’s health. This 107,500-square-foot building that overlooks the NYC skyline expands the University’s science research infrastructure by 50 percent. Home to our electron microscopy and GIS suites, CELS has state-of-the-art classrooms and research labs that support research and advancement in all programs.

Scale up your ambitions.

Consistently named one of the best business schools in the nation, the Feliciano School of Business’ mission is to develop talent for a changing world. They do so in a high-tech learning environment where students, faculty and staff actively engage with the business community. Because your ambition has no bounds, we equipped this building with a financial trading floor, 3D printing innovation laboratory and The Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation. The Feliciano School of Business is a dynamic space for innovation and inspiration. It’s where you set your sights high and pursue your greatest purpose

A first in 3D printing.

With 35 state-of-the-art 3D design and printing devices, complete with cloud connectivity, our next-level MIX Lab is located in the Feliciano School of Business building.

The lab is the first of its kind in New Jersey, the only of its kind in the region, and only the ninth such facility in the world. Montclair State is the only university in the nation to have a MIX Lab physically located within a school of business.

Stand up and stand out with Sony.

  • Two-story digital modular newsroom.
  • Fully automated control room with remote-control robotic cameras.
    • Interoperable control rooms and studios.
    • The only 4K control room at any university and one of only a few in the world.
    • Edit facility to support 4K.
  • Motion picture sound stage.

Rise to hero status.

We have a new RN to BSN nursing program, a four-year BSN program, and future expansion to a postgraduate degree on the way. The RN to BSN program emphasizes the development of knowledge and skills that are directly related to the future of nursing. Accompanying this program is a new, leading-edge facility in which classes are taught by world-class faculty.

Level up and lead the future.

It’s our greatest passion that every Montclair State student will leave here as a leader. It’s a goal that’s at the core of Leadership Development and Campus Connections where students are provided guidance and support in personal, professional, academic and leadership development.

Come fly with us.

Our Student Center provides a common area where students, faculty, staff and visitors can come together for social interaction, collaboration and community.

Find your voice.

For those who love live theater, you’ll have endless opportunities at the Alexander Kasser Theater, our newest flagship performance facility. This dramatic theater pays tribute to the Spanish mission style of the University’s historic buildings, welcoming visitors with a sweeping plaza and lobby with an elegant staircase to the balcony.  The Department of Theatre and Dance offers undergraduate and graduate majors and concentrations in a broad range of professional areas.

Imagine big things.

The George Segal Gallery has over 6,300 square feet of exhibition space, offices and classrooms. It houses important works by George Segal and a growing permanent collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by Richard Anuszkiewitz, Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol, Clarence Holbrook Carter, Andre Masson and more. The gallery also presents works of our faculty and graduating students.

Go for greatness.

Health and fitness are an integral part of learning. That’s why we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art complex that houses three gyms, a weight room, a swimming pool, a fitness center and faculty offices. In addition to a robust intercollegiate sports program where we’ve captured five NCAA Division III championships and have seen over 250 of our athletes named All-Americans, we also have an outdoor track, tennis courts, softball fields and a multipurpose field.
