Requires four-year public institutions of higher education to provide on website certain information on online degree students and graduate degree students.
This bill requires New Jersey's four-year public colleges to post detailed, publicly accessible information about online and graduate degree programs on their websites. It mandates specific data including costs (tuition, fees, housing, books), graduation rates broken down by demographics and major, student loan debt statistics disaggregated by race, income, and other factors, faculty composition, and online course offerings. The information must be updated annually and linked from application pages, with separate reporting for on-campus, commuting, and online students. This directly affects students researching degree options and families making enrollment decisions, providing transparency about program costs and outcomes.
