Mission-Oriented Education and Scholarship


Building on the school's land-grant tradition, faculty members from the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences pursue mission-based teaching, research, and outreach that address problems faced by people throughout the world, and challenge students to adopt the same mission-based approach to their educational experience at Rutgers. 

 

The school's undergraduate programs are designed to promote the multidisciplinary study of challenges facing society in areas that cover the biological spectrum from organisms to ecosystems, with an equal emphasis on the social and human dimensions of these challenges. Twenty-five bachelor's degree programs, many with several areas of further concentration, are available to the school's undergraduates.  

 

Often, teaching, research, and outreach are done in collaboration with faculty members from various departments, centers, and institutes from throughout the university and beyond. The school's students not only have access to quality classroom experiences, but also have the opportunity to participate with faculty in world-class research projects funded by agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the United States Department of Agriculture. They also have the opportunity to work with faculty members throughout the state who are applying Rutgers' research to address local needs.
