Our Campuses

The Best of Both Worlds

As a multi-campus institution, we offer students two distinct campus experiences – each just a short train ride from the endless opportunities of Manhattan. Whether you’re based at our vibrant Montclair campus or our historic Bloomfield campus, you can move seamlessly between the two using the University’s convenient shuttle service.

The Montclair Campus: Elevate Your Outlook

Perched on a hillside with stunning views of the New York City skyline, the 252-acre Montclair campus is where ambition meets opportunity. Just 12 miles from Manhattan, this campus feels like a world of its own while keeping the "backyard" of the city within easy reach.

  • Unmatched Transit Access: With two NJ Transit train stations – one on campus and one across the street – you can go from a morning lecture to an afternoon internship in Midtown in no time.
  • Bustling Local Life: When you aren't in class, you’re minutes away from the bustling Township of Montclair, known for its eclectic dining, arts scene and trendy boutiques. Our shuttles also take you to local spots including Target, Shop Rite and Stop and Shop.
  • A Hub of Innovation: As a high-research (R2) doctoral university, the campus boasts state-of-the-art academic and athletic facilities and a vibrant culture that not only give you the tools to achieve your goals, but make you feel at home while you’re doing it. 
  • Something for Everyone: With more than 150 student clubs and organizations, on-campus events and NCAA Division III athletics, there’s a place for you here to be yourself. Everyone belongs at Montclair, and you’ll feel it the moment you step on campus.

Small Campus, Big Spirit

Our students are making the most of both campuses. See how Informatics major and cheerleader Bryce Antoine splits his time between small classes at Bloomfield and game‑day energy at Montclair.

The Bloomfield Campus: Historic Charm, City Energy

Located in the heart of a city historic district, the Bloomfield campus offers an intimate, personalized learning environment within a lively urban setting. 

  • Downtown Connection: The campus is steps away from the bustling downtown of the Township of Bloomfield, offering easy access to local shops, restaurants and community events.
  • Rich History: Studying in a city historic district means your academic journey is framed by beautiful architecture, like Bloomfield’s Westminster Arts Center, that reflects a long tradition of student success. 
  • Metropolitan Advantage: Like the Montclair campus, Bloomfield places you in a prime position for professional growth, with easy mass transportation options that connect you directly to Manhattan.
  • Supportive Community: Known for its warmth and inclusivity, the Bloomfield campus is a place where every voice is celebrated and every student is empowered to reach their potential.
