New Jersey has over 150 colleges and career schools with more than 400,000 students. While these are healthy numbers when compared to other states, New Jersey actually has the second lowest percentage of its population attending these schools (just under 4.8%). There are a comparatively high number of for-profit schools in New Jersey, with over half of their post-secondary schools being for-profit. Only eight other states have a higher percentage of for-profit schools.
There are 12 colleges in New Jersey with more than 10,000 students. Perhaps the best known of these is Rutgers University with more than 40,000 students, and locations in New Brunswick/Piscataway and Newark. The next largest college is Montclair State University with more than 15,000 students.
There are a number of community colleges with more than 10,000 students. These include: Bergen Community College, Camden County College, Brookdale Community College, Middlesex County College, Union County College, and Essex County College. Like for-profit schools, community colleges tend to have a curriculum focused on career oriented education.
