Undergraduate Education in New Brunswick

Undergraduate students in New Brunswick enroll in one of ten 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. Four are professional schools admitting upper-division students of the School of Arts and Sciences: the School of Communication and Information, the School of Social Work, the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, and the School of Management and Labor Relations. The latter two schools admit upper-division degree completion students directly as well.

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 80 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 University–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 Information for Current Students website.
