Rutgers The State University Of New Jersey

While taking advantage of all a large state university has to offer, our students enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a small college. SEBS students form close bonds with their peers through classes, research, living-learning communities, and a rich student life experience.

Rutgers is a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university, as well as the largest university in the state.[18] Instruction is offered by 9,000 faculty members in 175 academic departments to over 45,000 undergraduate students and more than 20,000 graduate and professional students.[6] The university is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools[19] and is a member of the Association of American Universities[20] and the Universities Research Association.[21]

Governance at Rutgers University rests with a board of trustees consisting of 41 members, and a board of governors consisting of 15 voting members: 8 appointed by the Governor of New Jersey and 7 chosen by and from among the board of trustees.[68][69][70] The trustees constitute chiefly an advisory body to the board of governors and are the fiduciary overseers of the property and assets of the university that existed before the institution became the State University of New Jersey in 1945. The initial reluctance of the trustees (still acting as a private corporate body) to cede control of certain business affairs to the state government for direction and oversight caused the state to establish the Board of governors in 1956.[71] Today, the board of governors maintains much of the corporate control of the university.[72]

Rutgers University has three campuses in New Jersey. The New Brunswick Campus, located in New Brunswick and adjacent Piscataway, is the largest campus of the university. The Newark Campus in Newark and the Camden Campus in Camden are located in the northern and southern parts of the state, respectively.[74] Combined, these campuses comprise 33 degree-granting schools and colleges, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels of study.[74] The university is centrally administered from New Brunswick, although chancellors at the Newark and Camden campuses hold significant autonomy for some academic issues.[75]

The Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) is a division of the university that serves as an umbrella organization for schools, centers, and institutes from Rutgers University and the old University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The organization was incorporated into the university following the 2013 merger of Rutgers and UMDNJ.[80] While its various facilities are spread across several locations statewide, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences is considered a "campus" for certain organizational purposes, such as the appointment of a separate chancellor.[81][82][83][84]

In the fall of 2007, six Rutgers New Brunswick/Piscataway NCAA Division I sports were discontinued by the university, including men's swimming and diving, men's heavyweight and lightweight crew, men's tennis, and men's and women's fencing. Some continued as club teams, while some were disbanded completely. The university claims this change was due to budget cuts, while others claim it was a politically motivated move designed to protest state funding changes.[citation needed]

Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension helps the diverse population of New Jersey adapt to a rapidly changing society and improve their lives and communities through an educational process that uses science-based knowledge. Through science-based educational programs, Rutgers Cooperative Extension truly enhances the quality of life for residents of New Jersey and brings the wealth of knowledge of the state university to local communities.

Welcome to the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Our program offers exceptional opportunities for the intellectual development, personal growth, and success of students in an environment of diversity and vibrancy. As part of a nationally acclaimed research university, BME students have access to state-of-the-art labs and facilities, research opportunities, and internships that compliment coursework and provide industry experience in preparation for a biomedical career.

The curriculum itself is both innovative and intensive. The students are given ample opportunity for hands-on state-of-the-art laboratory experiences, both in a formal classroom setting and in the research laboratory. All of our majors engage in research prior to graduation, most often at Rutgers University, but also through placements in neighboring industrial corporations. Many students begin research projects in their sophomore year and are able to complete a significant body of work comparable to a M.S. thesis prior to undergraduate commencement. Opportunities are also available for biotechnology internships through the SEBS SPIN program. Some students are able to participate and present their work in university research programs such as Aresty or the Cook Honors Thesis, while a few students have even presented work at national scientific meetings. ff782bc1db
