New Jersey · 2026
Felician College, now Felician University, is a private Roman Catholic institution in New Jersey founded by the Felician Sisters. Its academic and student life are organized around a Franciscan tradition that emphasizes service, respect for the individual, and career-focused education. The university operates two main campuses in Rutherford and Lodi, placing it in the northern New Jersey region near the New York metropolitan area. That geographic footprint shapes its role as a commuter-friendly institution serving undergraduate, graduate, and adult learners in Bergen County and surrounding communities. The institution offers programs across arts and sciences, business, education, nursing, and health-related fields, with graduate and professional study included in its academic portfolio. Its work centers on teaching, student support, and preparation for employment and civic engagement. Felician also highlights a student body drawn from diverse backgrounds and promotes small class settings and individualized attention as part of its educational model. A concrete marker of its scale is enrollment of roughly 2,100 students, and its campus structure includes the Rutherford campus and the Lodi campus. The university’s identity is closely tied to its Catholic and Franciscan mission, which informs service opportunities and community engagement alongside classroom instruction. Although the institution now uses the name Felician University, the Felician College name remains historically important and identifies the same New Jersey institution.
