Faculty, staff, and students are the core of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences community. There are about 240 on-campus faculty members and about 3,700 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 by the schools at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
