college of new jersey |
The College of New Jersey, abbreviated TCNJ, is a public, coeducational university located in Ewing Township, New Jersey, a suburb of Trenton. TCNJ was established in 1855 by an act of the New Jersey Legislature. The institution was the first normal school in the state of New Jersey and the fifth in the United States. Originally located in Trenton proper, the college was 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 to its current name, from Trenton State College. Much of TCNJ is built in Georgian colonial architecture style on 289 tree-lined acres. TCNJ is a highly selective institution, with a mission to keep New Jersey's most talented students in-state for higher education.
