In
the late 1960s, the college moved to a new campus. Located in the
downtown business district of Newark, the college is part of an active,
urban community that gives students access to Newark's arts and
cultural institutions, experiential learning, and exceptional
internship opportunities in both Newark and New York City. The college
shares a growing campus with several other divisions of Rutgers,
including the Rutgers Business School (both undergraduate and graduate
programs), the Graduate School-Newark, College of Nursing, the School
of Law-Newark, and the School of Criminal Justice. The college is also
within walking distance of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Technology with the
resources of both institutions available to qualified students through
an exchange registration program. The campus continues to experience
unprecedented growth with the recent construction of a new, $18 million
Life Sciences Building that will serve to enhance and expand the
university's life sciences education and research programs. In
addition, the university is building the 13-story University Square
student dormitory complex that will help meet the increasing demand for
on-campus student housing. Students will begin living in the new
dormitory by the fall of 2006.
