Galloway, N.J. — Stockton University welcomed about 1,500 prospective students and their families to its fall Open House on Oct. 17, offering an opportunity to explore academic programs, tour campus and experience life as an Osprey.
Prospective first-year and transfer students met with President Joe Bertolino and Admissions staff to learn more about the university and the application process.
Throughout the afternoon, visitors toured the Galloway campus with student Admissions Ambassadors — including the new Richard E. Bjork Library & Learning Commons — explored campus housing options and participated in Discover Your Major sessions highlighting Stockton's academic programs, career opportunities and dual-degree options.
“Open House gives prospective students and their families an opportunity to experience what makes Stockton special — from our engaging academic programs and hands-on learning opportunities to the supportive community that helps students succeed,” said Moses Goldmon, vice president for Enrollment Management. “We want every student who visits to leave with a sense of belonging and confidence that Stockton is a place where they can achieve their goals.”
Attendees also connected with representatives from academic programs, student life and campus services at an Information Fair in the Campus Center, where they sampled Stockton's dining options.
Financial aid counselors were available to answer questions about scholarships, financial assistance and the application process, while additional sessions introduced students to the Educational Opportunity Fund and other academic support opportunities.
Visitors interested in exploring beyond the Galloway campus could also tour Stockton's Marine Field Station and Coastal Research Center in Port Republic and residential facilities at the Atlantic City campus.
Stockton University ranks among the top 10 public regional universities in the North and is No. 1 in New Jersey for social mobility and veterans, according to the 2027 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings.
Stockton is accepting applications for spring and fall 2027. Learn more about visiting campus and applying at Stockton.edu/visit.
