The College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers-Camden offers students the best of two worlds: It has the small scale of a first-rate liberal arts college plus all the opportunities offered by a major research university. Rutgers is one of only fifty-eight universities to be admitted to the Association of American Universities, which places it among the nation's elite institutions of higher education. Students at Rutgers-Camden are privileged to work with professors who are creating the knowledge that others will transmit in the next century. Our small size enables the faculty to give our students special attention in a comfortable intellectual setting, where they receive excellent preparation for graduate education, professional school, and the workplace.
As you will see more extensively elsewhere on our website, students have a broad choice of majors, including those in traditional liberal arts fields as well as professionally-oriented courses of study leading to degrees in Medical Technology and Nursing. We have a new major in Criminal Justice. In addition, we have programs of study in Pharmacy and Engineering that enable students to spend part of their undergraduate career here and part in New Brunswick. We provide opportunities for students, with a faculty mentor, to engage in original research. We also have a highly selective Honors Program, which offers a challenging academic program that includes honors seminars, junior and senior year projects, and extracurricular activities.
This campus has long been recognized nationally as an outstanding value in higher education. Kiplinger's Magazine recently ranked Rutgers-Camden forty-second in the nation in its survey of the top one hundred public colleges and universities, and U.S. News and World Report put us in the top three among public Northern Regional Universities.
I can vouch personally for the excellence of the education at my campus. As an undergraduate student I reaped the benefits of small classes, individualized attention from professors, and an environment that nourished my intellectual and career aspirations. After earning my Ph.D. and spending some two decades as a college and university professor, author, and administrator, I recently returned as Dean of the College and Graduate School.
I hope that if you are thinking about becoming a student here, you will explore our website, then consider visiting us in person.
Sincerely,
Margaret Marsh, Dean
