evening division, University
College, in 1934, and the addition
of the University of
Newark in 1946 and the College
of South Jersey at Camden
in 1950.
Since the 1950s, Rutgers has
continued to expand, especially
in the area of graduate education.
The Graduate School–
New Brunswick, the Graduate
School–Newark, and the
Graduate School–Camden serve
their respective campuses. In
addition, several professional
schools have been established
in such fields as applied and
professional psychology, communication
and information
studies, criminal justice, the fine
arts, management, planning and
public policy, and social work.
A number of these schools offer
undergraduate programs as
well. Livingston College was
founded in 1969 to provide a
diverse community of students
with the opportunity to pursue
undergraduate degrees in the
liberal arts and professions.
Today, Rutgers continues
to grow, both in its facilities
and in the variety and depth
of its educational and research
programs. The university’s
goals for the future include
the continued provision of the
highest-quality undergraduate
and graduate education, along
with increased support for
outstanding research to meet
the needs of society and fulfill
Rutgers’ role as The State
University of New Jersey.
