Mission Statement

The Newark campus of Rutgers officially came into existence in 1946, when the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University. However, the Newark campus's roots date back to 1908, when the New Jersey Law School began classes. That law school, along with four other educational institutions in Newark--Dana College, the Newark Institute of Arts & Sciences, the Seth Boyden School of Business and the Mercer Beasley School of Law - formed a series of alliances over the years, and a final merger in 1936 resulted in the establishment of the University of Newark. A decade later, the Newark campus of Rutgers was founded. Today, Rutgers-Newark is a doctoral-granting research institution that has evolved into one of New Jersey's leading education and research centers.
