Local Impact
Global Connections
Situated just outside Philadelphia in South Jersey, our connection to Camden goes far beyond our physical campus. We live, work, research, and play in ways that reflect our deep ties to the city and its resilient, determined spirit. Interwoven into Camden’s history and culture, we embrace what it means to be Camden Proud, creating a foundation of local impact that strengthens both the city and our campus.
This connection extends across the globe. Students from nearly every continent bring a dynamic exchange of ideas and cultures, while we take learning beyond the classroom to communities worldwide. Through internationalization, a key pillar of the campus strategic plan, we collaborate with the Office of International Students and offer opportunities that bridge local and global experiences. These efforts enrich education, advance understanding, and foster innovation on a global scale.

Endless Possibilities
At Rutgers Graduate School-Camden, the diversity of programs opens the door to endless opportunities—from using machine learning to study termites to developing teaching strategies in math, special education, and Spanish. This drive to foster innovation and support student success has led to the launch of three new graduate programs, five new degree offerings, revised certificates, and a renamed Chemistry and Molecular Technology program over the last five years. Additionally, we continue to expand our Accelerated Credits offerings, creating even more pathways for students to thrive.
Interest in these programs has grown significantly, with our application pool expanding at a rate that far exceeds the growth in our student body. To meet this demand, we encourage current Rutgers-Camden undergraduates to explore Accelerated Credits and invite prospective students to apply early. These developments reflect our commitment to providing endless opportunities for students to achieve their goals.
