Student Research

Exciting discoveries await at a research university such as Rutgers University–Camden, and not just for faculty. Both undergraduate and graduate students can join in the quest for new knowledge. 

Mentoring Students

At Rutgers–Camden, faculty members are committed to innovative teaching at every level—undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral—and inspired by the ideas and opinions of their students. Our small class sizes encourage seminar-style learning, and our close-knit environment makes access to professors open and easy.

Students and professors collaborate on research, creative projects, and experiential learning opportunities. This faculty mentorship—where professors and students share the excitement of discovery—is a hallmark at Rutgers–Camden.

Undergraduate Learning Beyond the Classroom

In laboratories and libraries, in nearby neighborhoods and far-flung outposts, there are many ways you can get involved with research. 

  • Take a research-intensive course
  • Assist your professor with research
  • Launch your own independent research project

Whichever path you choose, research requires students to solve problems, think critically, and write persuasively—skills that all employers value. 

Office of Scholar Development and Fellowship Advising

This office helps undergraduate students identify and apply for prestigious awards and national fellowships. You can receive guidance on nationally recognized fellowship programs that fund graduate training, public service internships, laboratory and field research, study abroad experiences, and professional opportunities.

Undergraduate research in arts and sciences

Rutgers–Camden students can engage in research and creative activity, starting as an undergraduate. 

Undergraduate Research Grants in Arts and Sciences

As a student, you can apply for grants to support research and creative activity and to travel to conferences to represent your work.

Graduate Research Across Disciplines

At Rutgers University–Camden, graduate students pursue master‘s and doctoral programs in a challenging, academic environment cultivated by outstanding faculty scholars who encourage investigation and exploration. Through our libraries, centers, institutues, and facilities, students have access to the superior academic and research resources you would expect from a major research university such as Rutgers.
