CCM Named a Top 25 New Jersey School for Engineering Degree ROI  CCM Named a Top 25 New Jersey School for Engineering Degree ROI 

CCM has been named one of the Top Twenty-Five New Jersey State Schools for Engineering Majors Seeking Strong Value by Rebellion Research Advisors, L.P., a registered investment adviser and not-for-profit educational research think tank. The recognition highlights both four-year and two-year institutions across New Jersey for exceptional returns on investment for engineering students, many of whom go on to secure high-paying positions in energy, pharma, software and transportation. 

“CCM’s recognition reflects the college’s commitment to high-quality STEM education, strong faculty expertise, modern labs and equipment, and affordable pathways that reduce financial barriers while opening doors to top-tier, baccalaureate engineering programs,” said Virginia Rich, dean of the School of Business, Mathematics, Engineering & Technologies at CCM. 

This commitment is reflected in CCM’s certificate of achievement programs, many of which can be completed in just a few semesters, with credits that may be applied toward an associate degree at CCM. The college also maintains strong transfer pathways with numerous respected four-year institutions, enabling engineering students to seamlessly continue their education at NJIT, Rutgers, Rowan, Stevens, Cornell, New York Tech, RIT, RPI, and other universities. 

According to Thomas Roskop, chairperson of CCM’s department of Engineering Technologies & Engineering Science, “At CCM, we take great pride in offering one of the strongest and most affordable pathways for aspiring engineers. Our programs deliver a rigorous technical foundation and open doors to top engineering schools across New Jersey and beyond. This recognition reflects the exceptional rigor of our instruction and the drive of our students. More importantly, it reinforces that CCM is truly one of the best places to launch a successful engineering career.” 

That momentum is reflected in enrollment trends at CCM. Over the past three years, the A.S. in Engineering Science program grew by 40%, while enrollment in the A.A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology program increased by 27.5%.
