In the late 1960s, the college moved to its current 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, the College of Nursing (now Rutgers School of Nursing in Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences), the School of Law-Newark, School of Criminal Justice, and the School of Public Affairs and Administration. The college is also connected by shuttle service to the nearby Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences division at Newark, with which it shares a number of joint degree programs. It is within walking distance of the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Students can take courses at NJIT through an exchange registration program. The campus continues to experience unprecedented growth with the recent construction of a new $18-million Life Sciences Building and the planned construction of a new Life Sciences II building that enhance and expand the university's life sciences education and research programs, as well as a new 13-story University Square student dormitory complex that is helping to meet the increasing demand for on-campus student housing.
