“Rutgers' urban campus across the river from Philadelphia — a research university offering a personalized academic experience with big-city opportunity at its doorstep.”
Rutgers University–Camden, established in 1950, is the southernmost of Rutgers University's three principal campuses. Located in Camden, New Jersey — directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia — Rutgers-Camden provides students with a smaller, more personalized university experience while offering full access to the resources and credentials of one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious public research universities. Rutgers-Camden is particularly known for its School of Law and the College of Arts and Sciences. The Rutgers School of Law–Camden consistently ranks among the top public law schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. The campus has also invested significantly in STEM programs and health sciences, aligning with the growing demand for graduates in the Philadelphia–South Jersey healthcare corridor. The campus's urban location gives students remarkable access to Philadelphia's internship and employment market — just minutes away by the PATCO Speedline rapid transit. Students enjoy the intimacy of a small campus community while benefiting from the name recognition and research infrastructure of the broader Rutgers system.
