Caldwell University was founded as a Catholic liberal arts college by the Sisters of Saint Dominic under the leadership of Mother M. Joseph Dunn, O.P., with the approval of the Most Reverend Thomas Joseph Walsh, Archbishop of Newark, who became its first president. Nancy H. Blattner, Ph.D., OPA became Caldwell University’s eighth and current President in July of 2009.
Caldwell College was incorporated on August 10, 1939, as an institution of higher learning for women under the laws of the State of New Jersey and empowered to grant degrees. On December 9, 2013, Caldwell College received official notification from the Secretary of Higher Education in the State of New Jersey that it had been granted university status. Caldwell University commenced on July 1, 2014.
In 1974, Caldwell College became the first institution in New Jersey to award the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. In 1979, Caldwell College became one of the few institutions in the state to offer a unique external degree program. In 1985, the Board of Trustees of the College voted to make Caldwell College fully co-educational, enabling men to receive the superior education and career preparation that women had been able to receive for fifty years. Caldwell College welcomed the first full-time male students in the fall of 1986.
In November 1992, Caldwell College reached another plateau when the New Jersey Board of Higher Education granted approval for the College to offer the M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction. During the summer of 1993, the first graduate students began classes.
The University now offers thirteen graduate degree programs, along with a number of post-baccalaureate and post-masters’ programs. A hallmark of Caldwell has been the continual development of new and innovative graduate programs:
- In 2000, Caldwell was the first higher education institution in New Jersey to offer a specialization in Art Therapy within the M.A. in Counseling and the first Post-Graduate M.A. in Art Therapy was added in 2008;
- In 2001, the Caldwell developed a Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program in Special Education and a dual Certification Program in Early Childhood and Elementary Education;
- In 2003, the Caldwell began offering an M.B.A. program in the Business Department and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc.® approved a course sequence submitted by Caldwell as meeting the coursework requirement for taking the Board Certified Behavior Analyst™ examination;
- In fall 2005, an M.A. in Special Education and an M.A. in Applied Behavior Analysis were introduced;
- In 2009, the first doctoral program, a Ph.D. in Applied Behavior Analysis commenced;
- In Fall 2014, Caldwell was approved to offer its second and third doctoral programs – a Ph.D . program and an Ed.D program in education leadership.

Located in the picturesque town of Caldwell, New Jersey. Recently, Caldwell was voted the third best place to live in all of New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly Magazine.

Another advantage to Caldwell University’s location is its proximity to New York City, just 20 minutes away. Our students use New York City as another classroom, where they can engage in internships and shadowing opportunities, experience cultural events, or shop or catch a game!
Hopping on a bus takes you to lots of great sites in New Jersey, too. A short ride offers a great selection, from the Meadowlands arena to the Prudential Center, and, in just an hour, the Jersey shore.
