| About this School |
| New Jersey City University (NJCU) is a public university in Jersey City, New Jersey.
It was founded in 1929 as the New Jersey State Normal School and became the New Jersey State Teachers College in 1935. It would later be renamed Jersey City State College. In 1998 the school officially became a university. There are approximately 3,700 full-time and 2,600 part-time undergraduate students and 1,400 graduate students. NJCU is known primarily as a commuter school.
The university's Main Campus is located on Kennedy Boulevard and is easily accessible by public transit, including the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. The neighborhood consists mainly of small single-family detached houses and a few small businesses.
The oldest building on the campus is Hepburn Hall, an attractive Gothic structure at the front of the campus. Hepburn Hall serves as the symbol of the university and features prominently in the school's publications.
The other buildings are various shades of modern. A new seven-story arts and sciences building was built in the center of the campus. The building was designed by architect Michael Graves in collaboration with STV Architects in New York City. It has been named in honor of retired professor of philosophy George Karnoutsos after he contributed a record $2.5 million to the school. The 77,000-square-foot building will be the replacement for Grossnickle Hall and will house 14 classrooms, 10 computer labs, faculty offices for nine departments, and the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences.
The Fine Arts building on Culver Avenue features a new Maya Lin sculpture in the entrance garden area. There are also renovated buildings on West Side Avenue that are part of the school. One of the buildings is home to the university's charter high school. The other houses the Business Development Incubator program.
NJCU has begun construction of its "West Campus" between West Side Avenue and Route 440 that will more than double the campus's total acreage. The West Campus will include academic buildings, residences, retail spaces, parking, and a "University Promenade."
