New Jersey is one of the best states in the U.S. for education. Our schools stand out, constantly topping national lists. Princeton University beat out Harvard and Yale, ranking as the top college in America by U.S. News and World Report. Rutgers Business School is ranked the third best business school in the U.S. (based on MBA employment rates), TCNJ is one of America’s top 20 “best value” colleges (most likely to pay off financially) and Stevens Institute of Technology was ranked third nationally for career placement.
