The Global Experience

The Global Experience

As a Rutgers–New Brunswick undergraduate, you will have an academic experience that's global, whether you stay right on campus or travel half a world away. That’s because the campus is a crucible of cultural exchange—located in one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse states; populated by students, faculty, and staff from near and far; hopping with international courses, collaborations, events, and resources; and rich with opportunities to learn, study, and make a difference abroad.

At this crossroads of culture, you will find countless ways to transcend boundaries and become a 21st-century global citizen, prepared to succeed anywhere in the world. How deep and how far you go is up to you.

Language Acquisition

Rutgers offers beginner to advanced courses in a wide range of languages, courses for both students who are starting fresh and those seeking to polish their skills in a “heritage” language.

Akan (Twi) • American Sign Language • Arabic (classical and modern) • Aramaic • Armenian • Bengali • Chinese • German • Greek (classical and modern) • Hebrew • Hindi • Hungarian • Italian • Japanese • Korean • Latin • Persian (classical and modern) • Polish • Portuguese • Russian • Sanskrit • Spanish • Swahili • Turkish • Yoruba

Courses and Curricula Prepare Global Citizens

How about registering for “Economics of the European Union” or “Literatures of Migration, Immigration, and Diaspora”? How about taking a major concentration in international environmental resource policy or a minor concentration in work, globalization, and migration?

Ramping up its preparation of tomorrow’s global citizens, the school has introduced a new core curriculum with goals specifically designed to expand your mind beyond the familiar.

Out in the World

A Rutgers–New Brunswick education often takes you places beyond the classroom—way beyond. In the past year, Rutgers students out in the world have explored volcanoes, served as student ambassadors at the Shanghai Expo, and observed the skies and discovered novas. With so many great options, Rutgers encourages you to get out and learn.
