Mentoring Students
Sure, our professors are scholars and thinkers, innovators and researchers. They are also teachers. At Rutgers–Camden, faculty members are committed to creative teaching at every level—undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral—and inspired by the interchange of ideas and opinions with their students. Averaging only 22 students, our small classes encourage seminar-style learning, with lively discussions that often continue long past the bell.
The small scale of the Camden campus makes access to professors open and easy. Students and professors engage one another in spontaneous conversations in the café or on a pathway. They also collaborate on research, creative projects, and experiential learning opportunities. This faculty mentorship—where professors and students share the excitement of discovery—is a hallmark of a Rutgers–Camden education.
“I can talk to my professors at any time and always feel welcome.”
Nicole Lister, Political science major
