With more than 50,000 students on campuses in Camden, Newark, and New Brunswick, Rutgers is one of the nation’s major public institutions of higher education. Chartered in 1766, Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. The university’s 27 degree-granting units offer majors in more than 100 fields, with thousands of courses covering the full range of human experience.
The Camden campus of Rutgers University is located in Camden, New Jersey, and was formerly known as the South Jersey Law School and the College of South Jersey (founded 1926 and 1927, respectively) which were merged with Rutgers in 1950 by an act of the New Jersey Legislature. The South Jersey Law School was established in 1926 and the College of South Jersey was established in 1927. Today, the 47 acre (162,000 m²) Camden campus consists of the following degree-granting divisions:
During the 2005-06 academic year, Rutgers-Camden enrolled 5,450 students in 34 undergraduate and 13 master's-level programs. In Fall 2007 the first doctoral program will begin at Rutgers Camden, offered by the Department of Childhood Studies.
The College of South Jersey and the South Jersey Law School joined the Rutgers system in 1950. After the Rutgers takeover, the campus expanded, erecting several buildings on site including the Paul Robeson Library, The Business School, the Student Center, and the Walter Gordon Theater.
