RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Morris County) — County College of Morris has been named one of the Top 25 New Jersey state schools for engineering majors seeking strong value by Rebellion Research Advisors, L.P., a registered investment adviser and not-for-profit educational research think tank.
The recognition includes both four-year and two-year institutions across the state and highlights schools that offer strong returns on investment for engineering students. Graduates often secure high-paying jobs in industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, software and transportation.
“CCM’s recognition reflects the college’s commitment to high-quality STEM education, strong faculty expertise, modern labs and equipment, and affordable pathways that reduce financial barriers while opening doors to top-tier, baccalaureate engineering programs,” said Virginia Rich, dean of the School of Business, Mathematics, Engineering & Technologies at CCM.
The college’s engineering programs include certificate of achievement offerings, many of which can be completed in a few semesters. Credits earned in these programs may be applied toward an associate degree at CCM.
CCM also maintains transfer agreements with several four-year institutions, allowing engineering students to continue their education at schools including NJIT, Rutgers, Rowan, Stevens, Cornell, New York Tech, Rochester Institute of Technology and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
According to Thomas Roskop, chairperson of CCM’s department of Engineering Technologies & Engineering Science, “At CCM, we take great pride in offering one of the strongest and most affordable pathways for aspiring engineers. Our programs deliver a rigorous technical foundation and open doors to top engineering schools across New Jersey and beyond. This recognition reflects the exceptional rigor of our instruction and the drive of our students. More importantly, it reinforces that CCM is truly one of the best places to launch a successful engineering career.”
Enrollment growth reflects that momentum. Over the past three years, enrollment in CCM’s Associate of Science in engineering science program increased by 40%, while enrollment in the Associate of Applied Science in electronics engineering technology program rose by 27.5%.
