Dr. Michael A. Cioce has spent over 15 years redefining the community college approach to student success.

As the sixth president of Rowan College at Burlington County, he served a pivotal role in launching RCBC’s 3+1 program that allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree for less tuition than most universities charge for a single year; refocused support on programs that are critical to the college’s mission; spearheaded initiatives to implement a new funding formula offering fair representation to New Jersey students; and led RCBC through the COVID-19 pandemic with increased transparency and access to the college community.

Cioce’s passion for student success, collaboration and data-informed decision-making helped propel RCBC to its current standing as one of the top community colleges in the state. He holds a doctoral degree in higher education from the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a master’s in business administration and financial management from Drexel University and a bachelor’s degree from Marywood University.
