Rutgersâ€"Newark is one of three regional campuses of Rutgers University, the state's public research university, and is located in the City of Newark, in Essex County, New Jersey in the United States. Rutgers, founded in 1766 in New Brunswick, is the eighth oldest college in the United States and a member of the Association of American Universities. In 1945, the state legislature voted to make Rutgers University, then a private liberal arts college, into the state university and in the following year merged the school with the former University of Newark (1936â€"1946) which became the Rutgersâ€"Newark campus. Rutgers also incorporated the College of South Jersey and South Jersey Law School, in Camden, as a constituent campus of the university and renamed it Rutgersâ€"Camden in 1950.
Rutgersâ€"Newark offers undergraduate (bachelors) and graduate (masters, doctoral) programs to more than 12,000 students. The campus is located on 38 acres (15 ha) in Newark's University Heights section. It consists of eight degree-granting undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools, including the Rutgers Business School and Rutgers School of Law - Newark, and several research institutes including the Institute of Jazz Studies. According to U.S. News & World Report, Rutgersâ€"Newark is the most diverse university campus in the United States.
§History
Rutgersâ€"Newark officially came into existence in 1946, when the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University. The roots of Rutgers University, Newark, however, 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 â€" Dana College, the Newark Institute of Arts & Sciences, the Seth Boyden School of Business, and the Mercer Beasley School of Law â€" 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, the University of Newark was absorbed into Rutgers University and became the school's Newark campus.
§Organization and governance
§Leadership
As a constituent unit of Rutgers University, ultimate authority for Rutgersâ€"Newark rests with the central administration of the university, including its president and governing boards.
