Faculty, staff, and students are the core of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences community. There
are about 220 on-campus faculty members and about 2,900 undergraduate
students. The school offers an education that encompasses the personal
and professional development of its students in a small campus setting
within the larger Rutgers community.
The school's undergraduate instruction programs are closely linked to the rest of the university. Its students, like all Rutgers students, are able to take courses offered throughout the entire New Brunswick Campus. Typically,
about two-thirds of the courses taken by students in the School of
Environmental and Biological Sciences are offered by faculty from other
units. The school's faculty also teaches large numbers of students from other schools at Rutgers-New Brunswick.
