TCNJ undergraduate students spend eight weeks in residence at The College of New Jersey during the summer, conducting research or engaging in creative activity in mentored collaboration with TCNJ faculty. The program funds research stipends and on-campus housing for the students, and consists of a vibrant mix of ideas and projects in the Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, Sciences, and in the professional disciplines of Engineering, Education, Business, and Nursing/Health/Exercise Science. MUSE includes a coordinated program of intellectual and social activities to build an exciting community of scholars that reaches across all academic disciplines.
