Helping to prepare our future healthcare workforce

At the core of a Caldwell University education is our liberal arts curriculum, designed to guide students to develop critical-thinking skills, appreciate diverse cultures, and acquire a moral and civic awareness. The knowledge, intellectual skills, sensitivities, and creativity you acquire transcend any major of study and profession for a lifetime of growth. According to a recent survey by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, 80% of employers agree that, regardless of major, every college student should acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences.

Caldwell has 31 undergraduate degrees and 31 graduate programs, including new programs in Computer Science, eSports Management, Public Health Education, and Healthcare Administration.

The School of Nursing and Public Health

This School includes nursing degrees at the bachelor’s and masters level, as well as the B.S. in Public Health Education (BSPHE) and Caldwell University’s Inter Professional Health Education Collaborative (IPHEC).

Location

Caldwell, New Jersey, has consistently been named one of the best towns in New Jersey to live in. Another advantage of Caldwell University’s location is its proximity to New York City, just 20 miles away. Our students use the city as another classroom, where they can engage in internships and shadowing opportunities, experience cultural events, shop, or catch a game.

“As the US healthcare system moves into the era of population health which will be based upon a solid foundation of community driven wellness and prevention, new innovative programs such as Caldwell University’s Bachelor of Science in Public Health Education will be vital in helping to prepare our future healthcare workforce.” 

– Ernani Sadural, MD, Director of Global Health, RWJBARNABAS Health
