From the Institution

Rutgers University-Newark is an urban, public research university that is not merely in, but of its environment. A part of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, it is located in the great city of Newark, the state's largest city and cultural capital, where the great challenges facing our increasingly metropolitan nation and world can be found, as can the assets needed to take on those challenges. The Rutgers-Newark community takes very seriously the urgent call to higher education today to prepare students for the world as it will be; produce scholarship that makes a difference in our city, state, nation, and world; increase access and affordability for increasingly diverse generations of students; fully recognize and reward faculty and staff for the full range of their roles; and get higher education out of its silo through collaborations locally and globally, while breaking down silos within. The university's location is both a defining influence in its story and a distinctive strength, especially as it serves to attract talent: generations of students hungry for the opportunities afforded by gaining a first-rate higher education in a major American urban center; faculty who vigorously embrace the opportunity to produce high impact scholarship, engage the community, and prepare these students for professional success and informed citizenship in an increasingly complex world; and staff committed to advancing an inclusive campus culture focused on excellence. Rutgers-Newark's roots date back to 1908, when the New Jersey Law School first opened its doors. That law school, along with four other educational institutions in Newark (Dana College, the Newark Institute of Arts & Sciences, the Seth Boyden School of Business, and the Mercer Beasley School of Law), formed a series of alliances over the years. A final merger in 1936 resulted in the establishment of the University of Newark. A decade later, Rutgers University in Newark was founded when the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University.
