“Saint Peter’s University believes in innovation in higher education, and the APEX initiative is a testament to the University’s commitment of providing value to its students.” – President Hubert Benitez, D.D.S., Ph.D.

We’re looking for motivated high school seniors who are ready to be a part of something new! If that describes you and you are graduating with an associate degree as a senior in high school, we welcome you to apply for APEX.

The admissions requirements for APEX are the same as applying to Saint Peter’s for a traditional bachelor’s degree. The only difference is you must have an associate degree conferred by your high school graduation.

Read more information on our admissions requirements.

The APEX application deadline is the same as Saint Peter’s traditional bachelor’s degree. Read more information about application deadlines.

Because of the way APEX is structured, we are currently not accepting students at second year and beyond intervals. If you applied to APEX as part of your overall Saint Peter’s University application and do not get into APEX, you will still be considered as part of Saint Peter’s traditional 4-year bachelor’s degree.

Classes will be at the Saint Peter’s University campus in Jersey City, New Jersey. Event locations may vary, but they will likely be in the vicinity of campus or on-campus for APEX students.

Students interested in applying for APEX should complete this form after submitting their Common Application or Saint Peter’s application.

We anticipate that our initial cohort of APEX students will be 15.

Yes, financial aid options are available for APEX students exactly like a traditional bachelor’s degree. Saint Peter’s is committed to working with you and your family so that cost will not prevent you from attending and getting an education.

Yes! As part of APEX, students can live in one of our four residence halls with fellow first year students. APEX is all about the experience and we would not want you to miss out on living with your classmates.

In the first year of APEX, all freshman classes will be on-campus. Some classes later on in the program will be available in hybrid or online models.
