Abstract
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, was founded in 1766 and is the eighth-oldest university in the nation. Rutgers has three regional campuses: Rutgers–Camden, Rutgers–Newark, and Rutgers–New Brunswick. The Camden campus was founded in 1926 as the South Jersey Law School and College of South Jersey; it merged with Rutgers University in 1950. Academic offerings at Rutgers–Camden include 38 undergraduate majors and 29 graduate programs. An R2 research facility, Rutgers–Camden had 6,075 undergraduate and graduate students in the spring 2024 semester. Rutgers–Camden is designated as a Minority Serving Institution, with more than 50% of the student population identifying as African American, Latino, and/or Asian; 60.8% of enrolled students are female; and 92.5% of the students are New Jersey residents. The average class size is 24 students.
