Mission Statement

At the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge, just across the Delaware River from historic Philadelphia, resides a vibrant intellectual community. This is Rutgers-Camden. Esteemed for the scholarly accomplishments of its faculty and students, treasured for its charming, intimate campus, and counted on by its neighbors for its community leadership, Rutgers-Camden plays a unique role as the most prominent institution of higher education in southern New Jersey. Rutgers-Camden began as an amalgam of the South Jersey Law School and the College of South Jersey, each founded in the 1920s. The combined schools became part of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in 1950, and the campus has been known as Rutgers-Camden since then. The smallest and youngest of Rutgers' three regional campuses, Rutgers-Camden has all the resources of a world-class public research university and all the advantages of an accessible campus that one can traverse in five minutes.

School data was obtained from the US Dept. of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Data may vary depending on school and academic year.
