85+ Undergraduate Programs
Caldwell University offers diverse programs in fields like business, health sciences, computer science, education, psychology, and the arts. Small class sizes and a 15:1 student-faculty ratio mean professors know their students by name, providing personalized attention and tailored support. Beyond academics, the University provides strong wrap-around support: free tutoring, writing help, career advising, and special programs (including research, internships, study abroad, and honors).
Endless Places to Explore
Located just 22 miles from New York City, Caldwell University offers the best of both worlds — the excitement and opportunities of NYC, but on a safe, beautiful campus that feels like home. A short walk away, downtown Caldwell is full of great spots to grab coffee, shop, eat, and relax with friends. You’re only 20 minutes from one of the country’s largest waterfalls and about an hour from the Jersey Shore, so there’s always something fun to explore.
