While probably known as the most important state in the nation for industry, that’s not all there is to New Jersey. With such diversity as mountains, farmlands, and coastline, this state provides opportunities for those seeking outdoor activity, beautiful scenery, and relaxing beach time. For those with a nose for food, New Jersey offers fresh cranberries, blueberries, and peaches as well as clams straight from the Atlantic.
The driving force behind New Jersey’s economy is industrialization, with chemical production being the leader. Pharmaceuticals, electrical goods, machinery, and clothing are also important goods manufactured in New Jersey. Despite the amazing amount of industry in the state, farming and tourism are also important elements to the economy. According to Department of Labor and Workforce Development, jobs in health care, professional and business services, and travel and tourism will experience the most growth over the next several years with almost half of the job openings requiring a minimum of an associate degree and preferably more education.
One way to earn that important degree is to attend a Christian university or Bible college in New Jersey. The Christian-based schools here offer plenty of options for students. You can choose to attend a larger school, like Drew University, where students can earn either a traditional degree or a degree focusing on theology. These type of schools also usually offer different levels of degrees from a Bachelor’s degree to a Master’s degree or a PhD. Smaller schools, such as Philadelphia Biblical University-New Jersey, may provide a strictly theological curriculum. These schools may also only offer associate degrees or Bachelor degrees. No matter what type you choose, these schools are sure to provide a great education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.
