>​Founded 1927 as Jersey City State College, received approval 1998 to change name from Jersey City State College, obtain university status as New Jersey City University> 46-acre campus with Athletic & Fitness Center, Irwin Library, Gilligan Student Union> Model co-operative education school--lowest tuition of any 4-year public university in NJ--oriented to career training for urban students, operates most extensive co-operative education program in NJ, allowing students to accept employment positions after completing 45 credits of course work> School of business and colleges of arts and sciences, education, and professional studies> Undergraduate programs include education, arts, health sciences, business administration, psychology> In partnership with Middlesex County College, offers Bachelor of Science degree in National Security Studies completely on-site at Middlesex's Edison campus recognized as a “national model” by various national, state and local law enforcement, intelligence, and security agencies. Most popular majors include: Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing, Psychology, General, Business Administration and Management, General, Corrections and Criminal Justice, Other and Accounting> In 2012, Sue Henderson named 12th president and 1st woman to head NJCU, initiatives include creation of School of Business and relocation to 70,000-square foot facility in Jersey City’s financial district; led implementation of $350 million West Campus plan featuring fully integrated, mixed-use development for student residence hall, academic building and performance arts center, a fitness center, supermarket, and shops and restaurants; increased number of partnerships with international universities (six in China; four in India; several in Middle East); and created Confucius Institute with partner university Jilin Huaqiao University of Foreign Languages, one of largest private universities in China. Declines in enrollment and investment in new facilities and campus locations led to board declaring June 2022 a "financial emergency" and request for increase in state aid, along with announcement of resignation of President Sue Henderson, subsequent state controller report found potentially illegal financial management  during Henderson tenure through use of COVID-19 relief funding to fund the existing institutional scholarship program likely violated federal law.
