Stockton University is a public university in Galloway Township, New Jersey, United States. It is a part of New Jersey's public system of higher education. It is named for Richard Stockton, one of the New Jersey signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Founded in 1969, Stockton enrolled its first class in 1971.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable public university in New Jersey — at an average net price of $19,634/year and median debt of just $16,380, the financial profile is genuinely reasonable. That said, a 72% graduation rate and 77% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful number of students don't finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. Median earnings of $50,700 a decade out are decent but not exceptional, so strong outcomes here will likely depend on your specific major and how intentional you are about internships and career planning.
