where education
meets opportunity
ONCE HERE, IT’S EASY TO RECOGNIZE THAT MIDDLESEX COUNTY
IS SO MUCH MORE THAN ITS LOCATION.
The county is known for its award-winning schools, including Middlesex County College and the Academy for Science,
Mathematics and Engineering Technologies, which is ranked among the best in the nation and is part of the county’s
Vocational-Technical High School system, the first in the U.S., started in 1914.
Middlesex is home to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the Plainsboro campus of Princeton University.
Rutgers and Princeton played the nation’s first intercollegiate football game in New Brunswick in 1869, and the college football
experience lives on today at the newly expanded Rutgers Stadium, which attracts more than 50,000 fans each game day.
The world headquarters for healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson has been in New Brunswick since 1886, and the company
remains one of Middlesex County’s greatest corporate partners. Its complex sits right in the middle of downtown New
Brunswick, the county seat and cultural hub, to which thousands of patrons each year are drawn to award-winning
productions at the State Theatre, George Street Playhouse and the Tony Award–winning Crossroads Theater.
Residents and visitors benefit from the first-class medical facilities within the county, including nationally recognized Robert
Wood Johnson University Hospital, Saint Peter’s University Hospital, the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the
PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital, all located in New Brunswick; J.F.K. Medical Center in Edison, Raritan Bay Medical
Center in Perth Amboy and Old Bridge and the Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro bring first-rate acute care and
ancillary businesses to the county.
