From
its inception, the Newark College of Arts and Sciences has prided
itself on combining the best of the liberal arts tradition with
excellence in professional and preprofessional training. Students
enrolled in NCAS enjoy a wide variety of course offerings and can
choose from majors in nearly 40 fields. The college's curriculum
provides students with a strong liberal arts foundation and access to
training necessary for pursuing specialized careers. Students are able
to benefit from a broad range of educational and research opportunities
that a major state research university offers, but it also provides an
intimate campus setting that features a 14-to-1 student/faculty ratio.
Students also can be selected to participate in the Honors College at
Rutgers-Newark. The Honors College gives students an outstanding
educational foundation while providing them with the practical skills
and experience they need to achieve professional success beyond the
classroom. Honors College students are able to take advantage of
a variety of opportunities offered by one of the country's largest and
most well-respected research institutions while benefiting from
individual attention, personal access to faculty and staff, smaller
class sizes, and a socially vibrant campus atmosphere typically found
only at smaller liberal arts colleges. The Honors College allows
students to excel and achieve their goals by expanding their minds,
broadening their horizons, developing useful professional skills and
contacts, and encouraging them to play an active and constructive role
in their world. |
