Discover Rutgers University–New Brunswick
Situated in central New Jersey, near the major urban centers of New York City and Philadelphia, as well as the iconic Jersey Shore, Rutgers–New Brunswick reaches across five distinct campuses that together form a single community—offering everything from a bustling downtown to a rural, traditional collegiate campus environment. The eclectic atmosphere of our Busch, College Ave, Douglass, Cook, and Livingston campuses is a big part of what makes Rutgers–New Brunswick so special.
Your Passion in Action
Built on a philosophy of hands-on learning, Rutgers–New Brunswick prepares you for the challenges of the real world. With over 120 majors to choose from and access to 11 undergraduate schools to deliver a more personalized learning experience, your Rutgers education transcends the theoretical and puts your coursework into practice.
Be First at Rutgers
Rutgers–New Brunswick welcomes students who are the first in their family to attend college. In fact, 25% of students in last year's incoming class were first generation. We offer several programs designed to ensure the success of historically excluded, first-generation, and low-income students. For example, Thrive SSS Scholars gain access to workshops and academic coaching in one-on-one and group settings, and the Paul Robeson Success Institute offers a three-day, high-impact summer experience that engages in peer community-building and jumpstarts your Rutgers network with faculty, staff, and current students.
