Histori
Plans for Normal State schools began in 1903, and it took a year for the State of New Jersey to grant permission to build schools. It was later defined as the New Jersey State Normal School in Montclair , a normal school, in 1908 about 5 years after the initial planning of the school. At that time, Governor John Franklin Fort attended school service in 1908, and the school would have its first principal, Charles Sumner Chapin that same year. The first building that was built is College Hall, and it still stands today. However, at the time, the school only offered a two-year program intended to train and develop school teachers. At that time, the campus was about 25 acres (100,000 m 2 ), had 8 faculty members and 187 students. The first graduation class, consisting of 45 students, contains William O. Trapp, who will then win the Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1929. The first dormitories were then built five years later, in 1915, and are known as the Russ Hall.
In 1924, Dr. Harry Sprague was Montclair's first president, and shortly after that school began to become more inclusive of extracurricular activities such as sport, which is still an important sect in school culture. However, in 1927, after research appeared on the number of high school teachers in the state of New Jersey (only 10% of all high school teachers received their degree from New Jersey), the institution became Montclair State University and developed a four-year (Bachelor of Arts) program in pedagogy, becoming the first US institution to do so. In 1937, it became the first teacher school to be accredited by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In 1943, during World War II, some students, with permission from the president, Harry Sprague, joined the US Navy as a volunteer to practice war. It was also a time when students and lecturers sold war bonds to support US forces.
In 1958 the school joined the Higher Education Panzer of Physical Education and Hygiene to become Montclair State College . The school became a comprehensive multi-purpose institution in 1966. The Council of Higher Education designated a university school teaching on April 27, 1994, and in the same year the school became Montclair State University . It has been offering the Master of Arts program since 1932, Master of Business Administration since 1981, Master of Education since 1985, Master of Science since 1992, Master of Fine Arts since 1998, Doctor of Education since 1999. From 2008 onwards, PhD degree, first in Teacher Education and Teacher Development, then Environmental Management, Advisor Education, Family Studies, and most recently, Communication and Disorders (2014). In 2014, Montclair State University completed more than 30 doctoral students.
In 2004, the New Jersey Transit opened Montclair State University Station in Little Falls, which links the university to New York City. The construction of MSU Station cost $ 26 million to complete, including a 1,500-room parking deck. In 2015, the university established the School of Communication and Media and added two new buildings to its campus; Feliciano Business School and Center for Environmental and Life Sciences (CELS). Partridge Hall, a former School of Business (SBUS) premises, is currently being renovated and is set to reopen in Spring 2016 as the site of the new Montclair State University Nursing School, which will offer RN to BSN as well as graduates - a top-class nursing program. By 2016, Montclair State University is upgraded from Masters to the University of Doctoral Research by the Carnegie Classification of Higher Education Institutions.

Housing for returning students from World War II was added towards the end of the war. Between 1950 and 1980, Montclair State gradually acquired land from its former cast iron mine and expanded its facilities with an additional 23 buildings. Montclair State University started the next phase of growth in the late 1990s to accommodate the growth of the New Jersey student population. Dickson Hall was ordained in 1995. The building was named for David W.D. Dickson, the first African American president of Montclair State University. Arena Floyd Hall, ice skating rink, was built in 1998. Science Hall, home of the Department of Biology, opened in 1999. Red Hawk Diner was built in 2001, making it the first restaurant on a university campus in the United States.
