Exploring the Ties between Education and Development

Tim NordinAt Rutgers’ Graduate School of Education, Ph.D. candidate Tim Nordin is investigating the interplay between economic development and education in big cities. “They are symbiotic,” he says.

A member of the first class of Rutgers Presidential Fellows—a new program through which Rutgers provides financial support to attract talented Ph.D. students—and a National Science Foundation Fellowship recipient, Nordin relocated to New Jersey from Iowa with his wife and two young sons.

Nordin says he is very pleased with his decision to enroll at Rutgers, the only school in New Jersey to offer a Ph.D. in education: “I have received a great deal of attention and support from faculty and administrators at Rutgers.”

Rutgers Ranks High: Philosophy

Rutgers is a leader in many fields. Here’s just one example: according to the Philosophical Gourmet Report, the Rutgers–New Brunswick graduate philosophy program ranks high in the nation:

  • #1 Philosophy of Language
  • #1 Philosophy of the Mind
  • #1 Philosophy of Cognitive Science
  • #1 Epistemology
  • #2 Philosophy Faculty
