For 100 years, the history of Montclair State has been one of growth and distinction.

We offer all the advantages of a large university — a wide range of excellent undergraduate and graduate programs, a diverse faculty and student body — combined with the individual attention of a small college.

MSU provides more than 250 majors, minors and concentrations while remaining accessible and affordable. Our six schools and colleges prepare students to lead productive, rewarding and responsible lives in society and the world.

MSU makes the most of its location in vibrant Montclair and just 14 miles away from New York City.

Our 246-acre campus boasts excellent academic and recreational facilities and an exciting calendar of events and performances by students and professionals.

Montclair State’s Mission Statement and Strategic Plan reflect the University’s expanded role in and ongoing commitment to educating the students of New Jersey, conducting research, and serving our local and wider communities.
