  • Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Nj
    PROFILE: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY-NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ This is the first of a series of U.S. college and university profiles for 2011-12 and it will be continually updated as new information becomes available to prospective students and their families as well as the author. Statistics provided for this profile have been provided from a variety of sources, most notably the U.S. Department of Education and the school itself. Any use or reproduction of this profile without the expressed permission of the author is prohibited. Background and History of Rutgers-New Brunswick Rutgers-New Brunswick has the largest undergraduate enrollment, nearly 30,000 students, of any public institution in the New York or Philadelphia metropolitan areas. It has been a state university for less than sixty years and has resembled a traditional university with separate undergraduate divisions by academic programs for only four. This has caused some growing pains, but this school is well on its way to resolving them. The Class of 2011 was the first to graduate as members of a single university. This class was a milestone that will begin to change the institutional memory of the university among alumni and parents. Past graduates have identified themselves not as Rutgers graduates but as sons or daughters of single colleges that have their own unique histories. Rutgers-New Brunswick was a system of five federated colleges, each with its own unique history and academic programs. Admissions and academic requirements differed from campus to campus, even for the same major. Rutgers tries very hard to preserve its colonial heritage, especially on its College Avenue campus, but the campus is promoted as a greater community with multiple residential and academic options.
