New Jersey Public Two-Year CollegesJunior Colleges, Technical Institutes, and SchoolsThe State of New Jersey administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in New Jersey, sometimes called New Jersey junior colleges, or New Jersey technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" New Jersey colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in New Jersey. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the New Jersey local community
The framework for a statewide system of county community colleges was created by the legislature in 1962. By the end of the 1960s, 14 community colleges were in operation. Five additional colleges were established by 1982. Until 1994, the colleges operated under the auspices of the State
Board and Department of Higher Education.
