Note – Time to degree calculation reflects full academic year. 44 Key Points

• Rutgers–New Brunswick prides itself on the academic achievements and socioeconomic diversity of its student body. However, compared to its Big Ten peers, the university enrolls a small percentage of out-of-state students. • Transfer students have been, and will continue to be, a large and valued segment of the undergraduate population at Rutgers–New Brunswick. • While tuition and fee rates at Rutgers–New Brunswick still fall among the top half of its Big Ten peer group, the university has been successful in keeping increases to modest levels in recent years (2.3% on average). • Federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships help reduce the costs of a Rutgers–New Brunswick education for many students. • Though strong overall, there remains significant room for improvement in the graduation rates for Rutgers–New Brunswick undergraduates. In particular, increases in the four-year rates and in the rates for African-American and Hispanic students should continue to be actively pursued.
