Overview
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a statewide institution comprised of three universities: Rutgers University - New Brunswick; Rutgers University - Newark; and Rutgers University - Camden; as well as an array of medical and public health schools and institutes organized under the banner of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, which is aligned with Rutgers - New Brunswick. Rutgers is a large, public land grant and research university with 33 degree-granting schools and colleges, more than 65,000 students and almost 27,000 faculty and staff. The University also provides educational programs in many other communities throughout the state, and has educational and research partnerships with institutions around the nation and the world. Rutgers was founded as one of nine colonial colleges in 1766 and became The State University of New Jersey in 1956. Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the flagship of the state system, is located on and around the historic Rutgers College, founded in 1766, that has lent its name to the state system. From colonial college, to land grant institution, to the leading public research university it is today, Rutgers has always been a center of higher education tradition and transformation in the state. Now a preeminent, comprehensive public institution of higher learning, Rutgers University-New Brunswick is dedicated to teaching that meets the highest standards of excellence, to conducting research that breaks new ground, and to turning knowledge into solutions for local, national, and global communities. According to U.S. News and World Report's most recent rankings of national universities, Rutgers University - New Brunswick is among the top 25 public universities in the nation, and among the top five public universities in the northeast. Approximately 50 Rutgers graduate programs rank in the top 50 in the nation according to U.S. News and World Report: Best Graduate Schools. The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings include Rutgers among the top 100 universities in the world. In 1989, Rutgers University - New Brunswick was elected to membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities (the "AAU"), an association of the 62 leading public and private research universities in the United States and Canada. The
AAU
focuses on national and institutional issues that are important to research-intensive universities, such as funding for research, research and education policy, and graduate and undergraduate education. Rutgers and Princeton University are the only
AAU
member institutions in the state. Currently, Rutgers ranks among the top half of public
AAU
institutions in the number of memberships in the National Academies of Engineering and Sciences, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In July 2013, Rutgers University - New Brunswick joined the Committee on Institutional Cooperation ( CIC ), the prestigious academic counterpart of the Big Ten athletic conference, in which Rutgers began to compete in 2014.
CIC
institutions include 15 top-tier American universities, including all members of the Big Ten and the University of Chicago. These world-class research institutions advance their academic missions, generate unique opportunities for students and faculty, and serve the common good by sharing expertise, leveraging campus resources, and collaborating on innovative programs. With the 2013 establishment of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, Rutgers has catapulted to the top tier of American universities in research and development (R&D) expenditures. Now exceeding $700 million annually, Rutgers outpaces the vast majority of American schools in R&D. In R&D expenditures, Rutgers University is ranked #1 in the nation for chemistry, #4 in the nation for social sciences, and #6 in the nation for mathematics. The university has 1,600 active U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications and was named one of the "Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S. Patents" by the National Academy of Inventors. Established by the 2012 New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences ( RBHS ) is the major health care education, research, and clinical division at Rutgers University.
RBHS
has greatly expanded Rutgers' mission as it has incorporated medical and health related academic programs and services into its core, effective July 1, 2013. Rutgers is now a stronger comprehensive university, with greater capacity for instruction, research, clinical services, and community outreach.
Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research ( IFH ): Located on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, the Institute for Health was founded in 1985 and is a vibrant, multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to scholarly research that focuses on behavioral health, health services, health disparities, health policy, health economics, pharmacoepidemiology, and aging research. The Institute currently houses 158 member-in-residents, core and associate faculty members. The outstanding faculty have generated award-winning scholarship that has influenced fields including medical sociology, health psychology, history of medicine, economics, nursing, public health, psychiatry, global health, social gerontology, health services, medicine, social work, pharmacy, medical ethics, and health policy. Multiple research centers are part of the Institute, such as the Center for State Health Policy; Center for Health Services Research; Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Science; and the Asian Resource Center for Minority Aging Research. Faculty members hold research and training grants funded by the National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and other major funding organizations. IFH has served as home to six faculty elected to the Institute of Medicine (now renamed the National Academy of Medicine). Faculty are actively involved in developing future scholars through training programs in health, mental health, and health services research at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels.
