Bill Summary
Under the provisions of the "New Jersey College Student and Parent Consumer Information Act," P.L.2009, c.197 (C.18A:3B-43 et seq.), four-year public institutions of higher education are required to provide for public inspection on their websites information on the cost of attendance, the graduation rates of admitted students, and the faculty of the institution. The purpose of the information is to maximize the awareness of students and their families of the costs associated with enrollment in the institution, the institution's success in ensuring the graduation of its students, and the composition of the teaching faculty that a student will encounter in his coursework. This bill amends that law to require the institutions to also provide the information on students who are exclusively enrolled in online education courses at the institution, and for students enrolled in a graduate degree program at the institution.
AI Summary
This bill amends the "New Jersey College Student and Parent Consumer Information Act" to require four-year public institutions of higher education to provide additional information on their websites, including details on students exclusively enrolled in online courses and graduate degree programs. The institutions must report on the cost of attendance, graduation rates, and faculty composition separately for on-campus, commuter, and online students. The Secretary of Higher Education is tasked with issuing guidelines, collecting the information, and creating a comparative profile of all four-year public institutions to allow students and families to easily compare the data across schools.
