Undergraduate students in New Brunswick enroll in one of nine degree-granting undergraduate schools. One is the liberal
arts college--the School of Arts and Sciences. Five are professional schools admitting first-year students: the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the Mason Gross School of the Arts, the Ernest Mario School of
Pharmacy, the School of
Engineering, and the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick. Three are professional schools admitting upper-division students of the School of Arts and Sciences: the School of Communication and Information, the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public
Policy, and the School of Management and Labor Relations.
While all of the schools are dedicated to providing the highest
quality education, each school establishes its own admission,
scholastic standing, and graduation requirements, and each offers
specific academic programs that reflect the school's particular
mission and philosophy. Students are urged to consult each school
section both for a general description of the school and for a list of
the academic programs that each offers.
The faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences offers most of the
academic programs available to students in that school. It encompasses more than 800
faculty members and offers more than 40 major programs and options, as well as
numerous minor programs and other specializations.
The
degree-granting professional schools in New Brunswick, both
undergraduate and graduate, each have their own separate faculty. Taken
together, the Rutgers faculty in New Brunswick comprises a
distinguished teaching and research staff of nearly 2,000 faculty
members.
Rutgers' campus at New Brunswick is made
up of five campuses located on both sides of the Raritan River. The
campuses are connected by a free, campuswide bus system. The
undergraduate schools are residential, with a variety of
living accommodations on the five campuses.
The university's
extensive facilities and extracurricular activities are described on
the Current Students website.
