Requires degree-seeking students enrolled in public institutions of higher education to receive instruction on American government and civic engagement.

S 833 requires all degree-seeking students at New Jersey's public colleges and universities to complete a course on American government and civic engagement before graduating, starting with the 2024-2025 academic year. This applies directly to students enrolled in institutions like Rutgers or the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The bill mandates that each public institution's governing board establish this course requirement as a graduation condition. The stated purpose is to ensure students gain foundational knowledge about U.S. democracy and civic participation to make informed decisions.
