The Newark Campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, offers students the advantages of an affordable, personalized education at a moderately sized campus, combined with the superior classroom, library, and laboratory facilities of a major research university. Located near the heart of the state's largest city, within the nation's liveliest metropolitan area, Rutgers University-Newark upholds the dual mission of academic excellence and access.
The campus's greatest resource in fulfilling its mission is a faculty of nearly 600 distinguished scholars and educators, whose scholarly research enriches the classroom experience. Students have the opportunity to work individually with faculty members, of whom 99 percent hold doctoral degrees and who are recruited for both their scholarly abilities and their commitment to teaching.
Newark College of Arts and Sciences and University College-Newark
The Rutgers University-Newark Campus has two undergraduate liberal arts colleges: Newark College of Arts and Sciences (NCAS), home to the Honors College, and University College-Newark (UC-N). Together they enroll 4,300 students and offer majors in more than 30 fields of study.
NCAS serves the traditional college student who attends classes during the day, while UC-N is geared toward adult students who work during the day and attend college part time, evenings, or on weekends. Both NCAS and UC-N offer the best of the undergraduate liberal arts tradition and provide excellence in preprofessional studies in such areas as medicine, law, business, and other disciplines. Rutgers University-Newark is able to offer students the benefits of small classes and the opportunity to work with faculty members on an individual basis.
Rutgers School of Nursing
On July 1,
2014, the Rutgers College of Nursing and the former University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey School of
Nursing merged to become the Rutgers School of Nursing. Rutgers School
of Nursing provides baccalaureate education for those entering the
profession of nursing
and for those registered nurses wishing to obtain a baccalaureate
degree, and graduate education at the master's and doctoral levels. The
school generates research and scholarly activities in the
field of nursing and health care; contributes to
the improvement of the health and nursing services to the public;
fosters and enhances the image of nursing within the university; and,
more broadly, participates actively in projects and activities aimed at
improving the health of all citizens.
The nursing program is offered in Newark and New
Brunswick and off-site at the Blackwood Campus of Camden County College
with a curriculum that includes liberal arts, sciences, and the
humanities, as well as the nursing major, which
focuses on optimization of health through health promotion, risk
reduction, illness and symptom management, health care technologies using
evidence-based practice, and leadership and management skills within
the profession. The liberal arts education core provides
a strong foundation for developing clinical judgment and clinical
reasoning skills required in professional nursing. The curriculum is
designed to promote intellectual curiosity, human compassion, and
dedication to nursing practice. Students' clinical experiences
are supervised by faculty and integrated with coursework.
Rutgers School of Nursing is a part of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. For current information and course listings, please refer to the catalog
