<p>Caldwell College, Bloomfield College and Felician College could be possibilities. Also NJ City University or Kean?</p>

3

<p>Try Kean and Cetenary (both in jersey), along with East Stroudsburg in Penn.</p>

<p>you have a chance to get into bloomfield also.</p>

<p>but make sure u apply to county incase you don’t get into any of those.</p>

<p>Can you actually major in Computer Science and minor in Business? I didn’t think schools would typically allow you to minor in something from a different college.</p>

<p>Have you used on online EFC calculator to figure out if you have an EFC or 0 EFC? [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml]FinAid”>http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml)</p>

<p>It sounds like you’ll need a decent amount of aid. How much can your family contribute towards your education?</p>

<p>Since you’re in-state for NJ, you should start with public colleges. Does NJ have any agreements with other states where you could get “in-state” rates and good aid?</p>

<p>Allskillz makes some good suggestions, but would you get in-state rates for the school in PA?</p>

<p>Centenary would be a good choice but they don’t have any computer science type majors. </p>

<p>And no, NJ does not have any agreements with other states for in-state tuition. NJ students pay oos rates in PA.</p>

<p>Excellent advice above. Caldwell is generous with aid. Good luck</p>

<p>*NJ does not have any agreements with other states for in-state tuition. NJ students pay oos rates in PA. *</p>

<p>Then Jerzey Jon shouldn’t apply to any PA publics (or probably any OOS publics) since OOS publics can’t provide the FA needed for OOS students (exception is UVa, which requires higher stats).</p>

<p>I double majored in CS and Business. Most LACs will let you do it, not sure about Universities where you’d be dealing with separate colleges of arts & science and business.</p>

<p>i recomennded East stroudsburg because its only 2 thousand more than a public school in NJ , if you room and board etc. but you should def look at Caldwell and Bloomfield.
good luck!</p>

<p>University of Arkansas.</p>

<p>My sons’ university allows this. I don’t know if that is typical or unusual.</p>

<p>allskills makes a good point about the affordability of East Stroudsburg. East Stroudsburg gives a big tuition break to OOS students who major in math, science, tech majors.
[East</a> Stroudsburg University - Admission - Tuition & Fees](<a href=“http://www4.esu.edu/admissions/tuition/tuition_u.cfm]East”>http://www4.esu.edu/admissions/tuition/tuition_u.cfm)</p>

<p>However, I keep seeing two different discounted tuition prices, so I’m not sure what the discounted OOS tuition is. It may still be significantly more than the in-state rate for a NJ public. I’m guessing that you’d have room and board costs at either schools.</p>

<p>Yes, it should be okay. Minors are open to all students. It’s double majoring in two different colleges that’s difficult.</p>
