The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) is a public university in Ewing Township, New Jersey. It is part of New Jersey's public system of higher education. Established in 1855 as the New Jersey State Normal School,[1] TCNJ was the first normal school, or teaching college, in the state of New Jersey and the fifth in the United States.[8] It was originally located in Trenton proper and moved to its present location in adjacent Ewing Township during the early to mid-1930s. Since its inception, TCNJ has undergone several name changes, the most recent being the 1996 change from Trenton State College to its current name.[9]
The institution is organized into seven schools, all of which offer bachelor's degree programs and several of which offer master's degree programs.[10] Emphasis is placed on liberal arts education via the college's general education requirements.[11] Much of TCNJ is built in Georgian colonial revival architecture style on a 289-acre (117 ha) tree-lined campus.
