Introduction
In order to gain the maximum benefit from your time at The College of New Jersey, understanding your curriculum requirements is key. This Academic Resource Handbook is intended to provide you with a plan and information on academic and career resources during your years at The College. Students who take advantage of the various advising resources are more likely to achieve their goals than students who do not. Through academic and career advisement at the departmental and college level, you will receive direction and guidance to help you make decisions about your academic goals at TCNJ and your plans after graduation.
