New Jersey Teacher Outreach Program (NJTOP)

The New Jersey Teacher Outreach Program (NJTOP®) was established to make graduate programs from Rowan University’s College of Education more accessible for teachers in New Jersey school districts. NJTOP® provides flexible online options designed to fit the demanding schedules of working teachers. By offering discounted tuition rates, shorter course formats, and a streamlined path to degree completion, the program helps New Jersey educators advance their professional goals without putting their careers or personal commitments on hold.
Key features of NJTOP® include:
- Accelerated format: Most courses run just eight weeks and are offered sequentially, allowing students to complete two courses per semester while maintaining full-time employment.
- Reduced tuition: Courses are offered at a discounted rate compared to standard Rowan tuition and fees.
- No application fee: Teachers can get started without the added cost of applying.
- Flexible, online learning: Designed to provide convenience without compromising quality.
