Stockton University is a public liberal arts university located in Galloway Township, New Jersey, about 12 miles from Atlantic City.

The university holds US News rankings of #158 among National Universities and #84 among public universities for 2025.

The School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics covers core STEM disciplines, while the School of Business and interdisciplinary programs in environmental science and marine biology are also prominent. Stockton ranked #38 nationally for Social Mobility by US News, reflecting its strong graduation outcomes for first-generation and Pell Grant-eligible students.

For Nepali students
- Tuition for international undergraduates is approximately $22,520 per year (2025-2026), placing Stockton among the more affordable US public universities for Nepali students; total on-campus cost of attendance is around $47,800 annually.
- The School of Health Sciences and the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics offer programs in fields that can qualify graduates for the 24-month STEM OPT extension, giving Nepali students in disciplines such as computer information systems, pharmaceutical engineering, or nursing-adjacent sciences up to three years of US work authorization after graduation.
- Stockton's #38 Social Mobility ranking and strong Pell Grant graduation rate (72% six-year rate recognized by the Chronicle of Higher Education) indicate the institution actively supports students from under-resourced backgrounds, a relevant factor for Nepali students navigating a US degree on tighter budgets.
- The 88% acceptance rate and May 30 fall application deadline provide a relatively open pathway for Nepali applicants; the Office of Global Engagement provides dedicated support for international freshmen including peer advisors and ambassador programs.
