Enrollment Instructions

The 3+1 Program is an innovative partnership between Rowan College of South Jersey and Rowan University. This option allows students to save money by remaining at RCSJ to complete their junior year after earning an associate degree. Students then transfer to Rowan University to complete their senior year and graduate with a bachelor's degree.

Education Unique to Each Student
