The Puerto Rican studies major and minor are offered at Newark College of Arts and Sciences (NCAS).

The Puerto Rican studies program at NCAS offers an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural major and minor in order to provide an opportunity for Rutgers students to understand the Puerto Rican community of New Jersey, the United States, and Puerto Rico. To achieve this goal, the courses adopt a comparative approach, making sure to place discussion of Puerto Rican topics in the broader context of the Caribbean and Latin America, and in terms of the complex relationship that has existed since 1898 between Puerto Rico and the United States. Except for the two literature courses, which are offered in Spanish, all other courses are taught in English. Students with interests in the fields of law, medicine, social work, and criminal justice, among others, or in careers in the public sector find many courses very useful.
