The Camden campus of Rutgers University is located in Camden, New Jersey, and was formerly known as the South Jersey Law School and the College of South Jersey (founded 1926 and 1927, respectively) which were merged with Rutgers in 1950 by an act of the New Jersey Legislature.[1] The South Jersey Law School was established in 1926 and the College of South Jersey was established in 1927. Today, the 47 acre (162,000 m²) Camden campus consists of the following degree-granting divisions:
- Camden College of Arts and Sciences
- University College–Camden (School for non-traditional students)
- Graduate School–Camden
- School of Business–Camden
- Rutgers School of Law - Camden
During the 2005-06 academic year, Rutgers-Camden enrolled 5,450 students in 34 undergraduate and 13 master's-level programs. In Fall 2007 the first doctoral program will begin at Rutgers Camden, offered by the Department of Childhood Studies.
