Enrollment growing at the state college no one attends - DIANE D'AMICO, Press of Atlantic City
No one really attends Thomas Edison State College. It has no dormitories, no athletic fields, no classrooms. Still, with more than 11,000 students and growing, Thomas Edison is the fourth-largest of New Jersey's state's nine state colleges. Founded in 1972, when distance learning meant driving a long way to class, its mission is “to create diverse and alternative methods of achieving a college education for mature adults.” Today the college offers a multitude of bachelor's and master's degree programs for people who don't even have to leave the house to learn.
