One of the greatest strengths and distinguishing characteristics of Rutgers University-New Brunswick is its highly regarded reputation as a world-class research institution. For students who wish to engage in actual, hands-on research opportunities with faculty members who are deeply engaged in research activities across the wide spectrum of academic specialties that comprise the Rutgers community, plentiful opportunities exist for students to work alongside highly accomplished researchers and scholars in virtually any area of scholarly inquiry one might imagine. Research is not just something we do. In many ways, it defines who we are. Students are welcomed enthusiastically by faculty members and practicing scholars/researchers into their laboratories, not just as students but as fellow researchers in their own right.
