As a branch campus of one of the nation’s oldest universities, Rutgers’ Newark facilities expand the resources of the historic school to the state’s largest city. Rutgers is well-known for its graduate programs in law, business, and criminal justice, as well as unique research programs covering subjects as diverse as behavioral neuroscience, urban entrepreneurship, and jazz music.
The Rutgers –Newark campus occupies a relatively small area of the city’s University Heights neighborhood, a short walk from the city center. The easily accessible public transportation (the Washington Street Station is right next to the Health Services building) puts New York City at your fingertips, allowing you to hop over and take advantage of the endless attractions and resources anytime. The convenience of public transportation also opens up many more options for housing: while you can find apartments and condos within a short walk of campus, more affordable options can be found farther east of the Passaic River.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
