School of Arts and Sciences (Rutgers University)
- School of Arts and Sciences (Rutgers University)
The School of Arts and Sciences is an undergraduate constituent school at the New Brunswick-Piscataway campus of Rutgers University. Established in 2007 from the merger of Rutgers' undergraduate residential colleges, the School of Arts and Sciences was implemented to centralize and consolidate undergraduate education at the university, focusing on providing one set of admissions and graduation requirements and imposing a universal core curriculum. Previously, the undergraduate residential colleges, Rutgers College (1766), Douglass College (1918), University College (1945), and Livingston College (1969) maintained disparate standards for admissions, graduations and curriculum. After the merger, Douglass College, an all-female school (on its own campus) founded in 1918 from the New Jersey College for Women, added "Residential" to its name (to become Douglass Residential College) and provides special academic and extracurricular programs, but not a degree-granting class program, for female students.
The residential college formerly known as Cook College was renamed the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at the time of the merger. Although this school was not formally absorbed into the School of Arts and Sciences, those enrolling in Cook College in the past had the option of majoring in the environmental or biological fields, or in the liberal arts, much as if they had been enrolled in one of the other colleges. New students now may only major in the environmental and biological fields unique to the college. In this respect, one facet of the former Cook College is now part of the School of Arts and Sciences.
