"In my opinion, the best part of the seven-year program is the independence, flexibility, and the opportunities it provides. TCNJ is unique in that, despite being an accelerated program, you are not bogged down with excessive requirements/coursework and are given the independence to pursue your passions. This flexibility allowed me to pursue my passion for research and comfortably balance part-time work at the lab with my obligations at school. And if you ever find yourself a little lost, the tight-knit community and comprehensive alumni network means that there is always someone who has faced similar problems and is more than willing to help!"
