With possibilities like this, it's no wonder that each year, the majority of our entering freshmen tell us that Montclair State was their first choice school. And, with competition keen for admission—last year 16,000 applicants vied for 2,100 spots—you'll be joining some of the best and the brightest students from around the country (and the world!) who know they belong here.

In 2011, Diverse Issues in Higher Education named Montclair State a "Top Degree Producer" in its ranking of institutions that confer the most degrees to minority students.
