Students from the nation’s top colleges and universities choose Rutgers for their graduate studies. They come to Rutgers for many reasons, but for those interested in research, the attraction to Rutgers usually rests with the reputation of a faculty member, academic department, or research center or institute.

 
Graduate Study Leads Down Many Paths

Rutgers graduate student researchers make substantive contributions to their fields by publishing, presenting, and applying their findings. From Rutgers, they go on to academia, the liberal arts and sciences, business and industry, social and human services, government, and professional positions—essentially any sector of human endeavor.

Where to Start

Extensive research opportunities, graduate and teaching assistantships, fellowships, and other forms of support are available within Rutgers’ schools, individual departments, research centers, and institutes.
