Already named #95 of the top 100 public research institutions in the U.S., Rowan also is the nation's fourth fastest-growing research university for the second year in a row.

Rowan research seeks answers to practical questions and problems, especially at the intersection of science, engineering, technology and medicine. As COVID-19 challenges virtually every aspect of life, our researchers are creating solutions in health care, biomedicine, engineering, emergency management, education, supply chain and human resources management and more. 

We attract funding from private and public partners seeking innovation and expertise. We energize the economy. We improve life through discovery for individuals, industry and institutions.

Rowan is one of only three universities in the nation to offer both M.D. and D.O. programs, putting it at the forefront of addressing the country's physician shortage. From our two thriving medical schools, more than 200 new physicians graduate each year to provide skilled, compassionate, innovative health care.

When COVID-19 began its threat in early 2020, our physicians, educators and medical students responded to provide care to thousands and they are still on the front lines as professionals and volunteers.

Both Rowan medical schools earn high regard.

Cooper Medical School of Rowan University is noted for its distinctive curriculum dedicated to urban health care and community service. The nation's 10th most difficult medical school to be accepted to, it attracts more talented applicants each year and earned the profession's highest honor for community service in medical education.
