Henry Rutgers Scholars Program. This program is
designed to give outstanding seniors the opportunity for independent
research leading to an interdepartmental thesis or a thesis in the
major field. This individualized course of study replaces two academic
courses in each term of the senior year. Not more than 6 credits of the
thesis sequence may be used in satisfaction of major requirements. Both
terms must be completed in order to receive degree credit. Students
wishing to apply for the Henry Rutgers thesis must have a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.4 in their major and a 3.4 average overall.
The Jerome and Lorraine Aresty Research Center for Undergraduates. This
facility provides information, services, programs, and undergraduate
research funding on a competitive basis to New Brunswick/Piscataway
students in all colleges, of any academic year and any major, with the
goal of supporting and encouraging their involvement in and
understanding of research. The center maintains an active, searchable
comprehensive database of research opportunities at Rutgers-New
Brunswick/Piscataway. Selected programs include workshops about
performing library research in the disciplines, creating posters and
conference presentations, and applying for major fellowships. The
center also sponsors a yearly undergraduate research symposium and
summer undergraduate research fellowships, as well as occasional
cocurricular events to enhance the undergraduate research experience.
