Rutgers Reorganization

While the details will only emerge over time, the Board of Governors has adopted President McCormick’s recommendations to overhaul undergraduate education. This is truly a great moment for Rutgers, as the creation of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences executed back in 1981 is finally completed. The largest single change – all undergraduates in New Brunswick and Piscataway will attend the same undergraduate college together, with a single honors program, the same degree granting requirements and admissions standards. While various specialized schools (the business school, engineering, and the land-grant programs within Cook) will still exist largely as they do today, the rather odd situation that you take most of your classes with students across all campuses yet are subject to different requirements and standards will largely come to an end.
