FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DEAN

University College has been a part of Rutgers since 1934, providing undergraduate programs of study for adult part-time students whose responsibilities make it necessary for them to attend college part-time in the evening. Offering majors in the liberal arts and in business, it enables part-time students to enjoy the benefits of a Rutgers undergraduate education. Rutgers-Camden has the small scale of a first-rate liberal arts college, and it also has the advantage of being a part of a major research university, since Rutgers is one of only fifty-eight universities to be admitted to the Association of American Universities. Students at Camden are privileged to work with professors who are creating the knowledge that others will transmit in the next century. The small size of the campus enables the faculty to give our students special attention in a comfortable intellectual setting, where they receive excellent preparation for graduate education, professional school, and the workplace.

Rutgers-Camden has long been recognized nationally as an outstanding value in higher education. Kiplinger's Magazine recently ranked Rutgers-Camden forty-second in the nation in its survey of the top one hundred public colleges and universities, and U.S. News and World Report put us in the top three among public Northern Regional Universities.

I can vouch personally for the excellence of the education at my campus. As an undergraduate student I reaped the benefits of small classes, personal attention from professors, and an environment that nourished my professional aspirations. After earning my Ph.D. and spending some two decades as a college and university professor, author, and administrator, I recently returned as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School.

I hope that if you are thinking about becoming a student here, you will explore our website, then consider visiting us in person.

Sincerely,

Margaret Marsh, Dean
Faculty of Arts & Sciences
