About Us
The Office of Undergraduate Education provides academic support, programs, and courses designed to enhance the undergraduate experience and to increase intellectual engagement between undergraduates and faculty at Rutgers - New Brunswick.
Our History
The Office of Undergraduate Education was created during a comprehensive effort to "transform undergraduate education" in New Brunswick/Piscataway. In that transformation—which began in 2004 and was completed in 2007—the programs, services, and courses featured on this website were brought under one umbrella in order to enhance the educational experiences of all students on our campus.
