about

THOMAS EDISON STATE UNIVERSITY

Established in 1972, Thomas Edison State University is one of New

Jerseys 11 senior public institutions of higher education and one of the
oldest institutions in the country designed specifically for adults. Thomas
Edison State University is accredited by the Middle States Commission
on Higher Education, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104,
(267-284-5000) and offers associate, bachelors, masters and doctorate
degrees and undergraduate, graduate and noncredit certificates in more
than 100 areas of study.
The University has pioneered the use of the latest technology to develop
flexible, high-quality educational programs for self-directed adults
and is a national leader in the assessment of adult learning. The New York
Times called Thomas Edison State University the college that paved the
way for flexibility.
The entire academic program at the University revolves around the
unique needs of adults, removing the barriers that limit many excellent
candidates who juggle family and career responsibilities. Those barriers
are largely time and place. Most adults cannot put their lives on hold to
sit in a classroom at a specific time and place: at Thomas Edison State
University, they do not have to.
