Thomas Edison State University, located in downtown Trenton, New Jersey's capital city, operates from several historic buildings including the Kelsey Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Established in 1972, the institution was specifically designed to serve adult learners through flexible distance education programs. The university offers primarily online undergraduate and graduate degrees across five schools, with notable programs in business, nursing, and technology. Unlike traditional colleges, Thomas Edison State does not maintain student housing or athletic programs, as it primarily serves working professionals and transfer students who complete coursework remotely while maintaining career and family commitments.
