Rowan University is a public university located in Glassboro, New Jersey comprising 49 buildings. The school was founded in 1923 as Glassboro Normal School with the mission to train public school teachers. The school became New Jersey State Teachers College at Glassboro in the 1930s, and later became Glassboro State College in 1958, gaining a national reputation in the fields of reading and special education. It was renamed Rowan College of New Jersey in 1992 after Henry Rowan and his wife Betty gave $100 million to the school, at the time the largest gift to a public college. It became Rowan University in 1997 when it achieved university status. Kiplinger’s named Rowan one of the “100 Best Buys in Public Colleges and Universities” and the Princeton Review included Rowan in “The Best Northeastern Colleges.” A member of the NCAA in Division III, the sports teams at Rowan University have been moderately successful on a national level. The men’s soccer team has made the NCAA Division III National Championship Tournament 24 times, resulting in 7 trips to the national semifinals. Rowan men’s soccer has won national titles in both 1981 and 1990, finished second in 1979 and 2000, and third in 1980, 1985 and 1998. Rowan hosted the Division III National Championship Tournament Final Four for men’s soccer in 2000 and Women’s Lacrosse in 2002. On March 20, 2006, President Donald Farish announced a joint venture between the university and Major League Soccer to construct a new athletic complex based around a 20,000 seat soccer-specific stadium on property owned by the campus at the intersection of U.S. Route 322 and New Jersey State Route 55. 12% of men and 7% of women belong to a fraternity or sorority at Rowan University.

Rowan University’s Student Publications include the weekly newspaper, The Whit, and a periodical humor magazine called Venue. While not occurring on University grounds, a significant event occurred in 1986 at Glassboro High School (which exists on the outskirts of the campus). As result of the drinking death of freshman James Callahan at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, Herman James decided to make GSC an example for the rest of the State colleges and universities to follow. In 2006, two Rowan University students were found guilty for serving alcohol to minors that resulted in the death of a 17-year old male at an off campus party, with Rowan promising to follow up with its own penalties.
