Office of the Chancellor

Welcome to the Office of the Chancellor, the central hub for leadership and vision at our institution. This page is a resource for learning about the strategic direction of Rowan University and the priorities that guide us.

Over the past decade, Rowan University has enjoyed tremendous growth and change unmatched by most colleges and universities throughout our state and even the nation. 

Today, we stand among the Top 100 public research universities, and we’re ranked the third fastest-growing public doctoral university in the country, rapidly ascending to Carnegie R1 status. We are one of just two universities in the nation with three medical schools, and we have academic programs that are leaders in their respective fields. 

With all these distinctions, plus great prospects for even better serving our region and state, it is incumbent upon us to continue to strategically plan, so we can remain agile and be able to foster the growth and progress so many are depending on us to lead.

As Rowan University’s inaugural chancellor, Dr. Anthony Lowman is responsible for advancing our academic mission, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, and ensuring we serve as a vital partner to our community and the world.
