Rowan College Prep Schools
Rowan College Prep Schools empower high school students to jumpstart college, gain career-ready skills, and unlock expanded opportunities for academic success through innovative pathways while still in high school.
Gloucester County Institute of Technology, (GCIT), Cumberland County Technical Education Center (CCTEC), and Cape May Technical High School, already RCSJ Collegiate High School participants, will now bear the distinction of being a Rowan College Preparatory School.
The Prep is officially recognized by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education as a RCSJ teaching location. This allows Prep students to take more RCSJ credits, at their high school, up to a full associate degree.
Prep students, who choose to do so, will be able to follow an academic pathway to a bachelor’s degree or higher, as early as their freshman year, saving time and money. This is accomplished through seamless curriculum alignment between the high school, college, and university.
“I would not be where I am today, quite literally, if it were not for all the amazing staff and professors here [GCIT] and RCSJ, who have helped me along the way and my wonderful guidance counselors who helped me plan my schedule."
On Friday, March 28, 2025, Gloucester County Institute of Technology (GCIT), Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ), the County of Gloucester, and Rowan University leadership announced the Rowan College Prep partnership with a ceremonial signing at GCIT. This partnership will provide GCIT students with a seamless pathway to degree attainment.
