The Division of Global Learning & Partnerships is Rowan University’s vehicle to identify and meet the specific needs of the adult student population. Our students include recent college graduates pursuing graduate or doctoral studies, returning college students pursuing the completion of a baccalaureate degree, employees/employers seeking professional development, and life-long learners seeking personal enrichment. The Division places foremost emphasis on making quality education accessible, convenient, and affordable through delivery modes that address the vast range of adult student learning needs and preferences. In partnership with Rowan University’s academic colleges and schools, Rowan Global currently offers several doctoral/specialist level programs (including both Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs), over 50 master’s level programs (including concentrations), more than 50 graduate-level and post-baccalaureate certificate programs and endorsements, and more than a dozen of undergraduate degree-completion programs.

- Traditional-format graduate-level (including post-baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral) courses/programs for both part-time and full-time students. Courses are commonly face-to-face, 16 weeks, and held on one of Rowan’s campuses.
- Non-traditional format courses/programs at every level (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, master’s and, doctoral). Courses are offered online, hybrid, off-site, at our partner college campuses, in an accelerated 7-week timeline, or some combination of these.

Office of Advising & Student Information Services
The Office of Advising & Student Information Services (OASIS) provides onboarding, registration support, academic advising, and related services to students enrolled in undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate, and certificate programs administered by Rowan Global.
In collaboration with Rowan University faculty and staff, OASIS provides outstanding service and expedient access to higher education for a growing population of national and international students across a range of course delivery modes, including face-to-face, hybrid, and fully-online programs.
Academic Advising
OASIS assists students at all levels with registration and financial/tuition concerns; provides clarity on university processes and policies; supports students as they transition into the higher education environment and identifies and resolves student matters regarding all aspects of academic engagement.
Undergraduate students enrolled in degree completion programs offered online, at the Camden campus, and through our community college partners (RCBC, RCSJ, and Camden CC) are advised by OASIS primary-role academic advisors.
Graduate, post-baccalaureate, and certificate students are assigned a faculty advisor through their program’s academic department; in addition, OASIS advising generalists also assist graduate-level students with a variety of personal, academic, and administrative concerns throughout their enrollment at Rowan.
Credit for Prior Learning
Rowan Global Learning & Partnerships encourages undergraduate students to seek college credit for prior learning. Prior Learning Assessment, the evaluation of knowledge and competencies for the purpose of awarding college credit, validates the level of knowledge gained from other sources of experiential learning. Institutional credit for prior learning pathways offers adult, returning, and other non-traditional learners the opportunity to accelerate degree completion through the demonstration of college-level competencies and knowledge gained outside the university setting. College-level learning may result from various life experiences, including business ownership, civic leadership, workplace training, volunteer work, military training, nationally recognized licensure, and union-sponsored apprenticeships. Individualized assessments may include professional credentials, standardized tests, military transcripts, institutional credit by examination, and in certain cases, portfolio assessment. College credit is awarded based on the demonstration of college-level learning and not for experience alone.
Adult learners, returning to college or just beginning, who wish to explore available Credit for Prior Learning opportunities may contact Rowan Global Learning & Partnerships’ office of Advising & Student Information Services (OASIS) at: globalstudent@rowan.edu .
Transfer Credit Processing
Graduate students seeking to transfer credits to Rowan must submit a Graduate and Post-Bac Transfer Credit Evaluation form (Available for download at the Student Success website and all required supporting materials (official transcripts, syllabi, course descriptions) at the time of application.

Rowan Global undergraduates with questions or concerns about transfer of credit should contact registrar-transfercredits@rowan.edu for assistance.
