Rankings
You expect a university like Rutgers to say good things about its academic programs, students and faculty, research, and its contributions to making a difference, locally and beyond.

S. News & World Report, Washington Monthly, Princeton Review, The Wall Street Journal and others are saying about how Rutgers University, Newark, compares to other national universities in the U.S.

Our History
Rutgers University in Newark is one of three campuses of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. We officially came into existence in 1946, when the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University. Our roots, however, date back to 1908 when the New Jersey Law School first opened its doors. [more]
Academics
We have seven schools: Newark College of Arts and Sciences/University College - Newark, School of Public Affairs and Administration, College of Nursing, School of Criminal Justice, Graduate School - Newark, Rutgers School of Law - Newark, and Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick. We offer more than 40 majors and award approximately 60 doctoral degrees, 1,000 graduate degrees, and 1,200 baccalaureate degrees each year. [more]
Faculty
We have more than 500 full-time faculty members, 99 percent of whom hold doctor of philosophy or juris doctor degrees. Our faculty currently includes a Pulitzer Prize recipient and members of the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. A number of our faculty members have been awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship and named as Fulbright Fellows.
Research
Our mission is simple - to create new knowledge, provide top-quality education to our students, and share academic and intellectual resources with New Jersey's residents. We accomplish our mission not only through the classroom and through the research initiatives of individual faculty members but also through a variety of centers and institutes where faculty members are involved in cutting edge research.
Diversity
We are well known for the extraordinary racial, ethnic and religious diversity of our student body. U.S. News & World Report "Best Colleges" has consistently ranked us No. 1 in student diversity among national universities since 1997. This diversity provides unparalleled opportunities for teaching and learning. [more]
Student Life
We offer many options, amenities, and recreational and learning opportunities to suit any and all interests. Whether you're seeking a delicious meal, participation in a favorite activity or sport at the Golden Dome, help with family or personal issues, opportunities for social interaction or uninterrupted relaxation, a safe and comfortable place to live, or information about your education and career options, you'll find it all right here at Rutgers-Newark. The Office of Student and Community Affairs and the Paul Robeson Campus Center are committed to improving the quality of life for all of our students, on or off campus.
Community Engagement
Throughout our 100-plus years of providing higher education in the city of Newark, we have continually fostered deep connections to our home city and its surrounding communities. Through the plethora of business, civic and not-for-profit institutions that serve the people of Newark and northern New Jersey, our faculty, staff and students apply their skills and expertise while demonstrating their strong commitment to civic/community engagement. For example, The Newark Metro, a multimedia web magazine produced by students, covers metropolitan life from Newark and North Jersey to New York City. [more]
Distinguished Alumni
Many of our alumni have attained national and international distinction in their professions or disciplines. Prominent graduates include United States senators and congressmen, New Jersey Supreme Court justices, and leaders in the fields of law, nursing and health care, business, humanities, and the public sector.
