About Rutgers University & Rutgers Business School

The University

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey embodies the historical development of higher education in the United States. From its colonial inception as Queen’s College in 1766, the institution grew to become one of the oldest, largest, and most distinguished institution of higher learning in the U.S. Rutgers is the 8th oldest University in America and one of nine Colonial Colleges in the US that includes Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Columbia. With the merger of University of Medicine & Dentistry New Jersey (UMDNJ) and Rutgers University on 1 July 2013, we now have a community of more than 65,000 students and more than 24,400 faculty and staff located across three campuses in Camden, New Brunswick, and Newark with an annual budget of US$3.78 billion (FY2015-2016).

Today, we are among the leading universities in the nation with more research spending than Harvard, Yale or Northwestern University (Read more).
