Completion Project - More than a thousand students of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society of Essex County College sign a commitment pledge to earn an associate degree or professional certificate within three years of enrollment. Students at the main Newark campus participate in the Community College Completion Challenge. Faculty, administrators and staff also sign the pledge. President Obama and higher education leaders have pledged to boost college completion rate by 50 percent over the next 10 years.

Compared to New Jersey, no other state in the nation has a statistically higher percent of public school 4^th graders scoring at the highest two levels in reading in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
