Other Academic Initiatives

MCSIIP (Mathematics, Computer, and Science Instructional Improvement Programs)

The College is home to MCSIIP, a highly successful center for math education in the K-12 system, that provides a variety of professional development activities in all three content areas for more than 5,000 teachers, ranging from one-day workshops in schools to multi-year projects.

Hollybush Institute

Established in 2012, the Hollybush Institute promotes scholarly research, education and community outreach on the intersections of politics, technology, medicine, science and engineering from a historical and comparative perspective. The Institute works to expand interdisciplinary connections at Rowan, get involved in the development of innovative curriculum as well as foster outreach off campus to advance understanding about the role of science and technology in society and politics -- in the past and present. Dr. Lawrence Markowitz, Assistant Professor of Political Science serves at its director of this important initiative.

The Institute will run speakers series, develop research and publications, and host conferences on the topics connected to the so-called "Spirit of Hollybush" -- the idea of building bridges across political, cultural and ideological differences through science, technology and medicine.

Internationalization Plan

The College acknowledges the importance of having a strong international education program that involves our students studying abroad, international students attending CSM and our faculty collaborating with international partners in research. To achieve this objective, the College has developed a plan for international education in collaboration between Rowan University’s International Center, Dean’s office, academic departments and College’s International Education Team.
