Guys, I'm trying to narrow down which private colleges in New Jersey might be a good fit for me. I'm particularly interested in a strong business program. Anybody have thoughts on which schools I should definitely consider?
One school in New Jersey that is particularly well known for its business program is Princeton University, which offers a major in Economics, along with certificates in Finance and Entrepreneurship. Note that Princeton is highly competitive, and to stand out, you will need strong academics and a 'spike,' or a highly-developed interest or talent.
Seton Hall University also offers a strong business program through its Stillman School of Business. It offers a variety of business majors, including Finance, Marketing, Management, etc. Furthermore, its Business Leadership Program is quite prestigious and offers unique opportunities for students, such as personalized mentorships and internships.
Fairleigh Dickinson University is another private institution in NJ that has a sizable School of Business and offers majors like International Business, Entrepreneurship, and Business Management, among others. They have a unique program called the Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship that helps student entrepreneurs develop their business ideas.
Rider University is another solid option, particularly for students interested in accounting and finance. Their Business program is also AACSB accredited which is a mark of excellence in business education.
Each university has its unique strengths and culture, so I would recommend further research and visits (if possible) to determine which might be the best fit for you. Remember to also consider factors such as size, location, extracurricular opportunities, and financial aid offerings.
