The College of Graduate & Continuing Education was developed to take some of Rowan University's most in-demand graduate and undergraduate degree programs and make them more affordable and accessible to working adults in the Southern New Jersey region and beyond.

Rowan Online, a division of the CGCE, develops, delivers, and supports online courses and programs. Rowan online courses are offered in the Blackboard Learning System and are characterized by a user-friendly environment that incorporates multi-media technologies, including digital slide shows, audio, and video to deliver course content as effectively as in the classroom setting. Students engage one another and the course instructor using internet-based communication tools including email, chat rooms, and online discussion boards. Rowan Online also provides technical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Students enrolled in CGCE academic programs whether they attend classes online, on Saturdays, or off-campus are Rowan students with the same access to Rowan's state-of-the-art facilities and on-campus resources.
