President's Message

New Jersey is a leader in America’s knowledge economy, due in large part to the contributions that higher education makes toward innovation and product development. Our state ranks eighth nationwide for research impact across all fields and fourth among all states for research strength in the basic sciences. Montclair State University is proud to play a key role in this ongoing — and growing — success story.

As the state’s second-largest university, Montclair State University graduates more than 4,600 students per year into the workforce. With nearly 600 accomplished faculty, we are an important research center in the state. Our community of scholars, entrepreneurs and innovators help drive the business, civic and cultural life of New Jersey, vividly demonstrating that in knowledge there is strength.

This report illustrates the many benefits accrued to New Jersey as a result of the learning and exploration that occurs here at Montclair State. It is an impact that is felt in every county in New Jersey; an investment that will continue to pay dividends for generations.
