Rutgers Visitor Guide | 2025–2026
Douglass Campus
Tranquil walking trails, tree-lined paths, and Georgian
Colonial architecture give the Douglass campus its quiet,
park-like charm. The campus was named for Douglass
College, which was once Rutgers’ liberal arts college for
women. Now, Douglass is no longer a degree-granting
school, but its programs remain at the forefront of the
university’s e昀orts to advance equity in higher education.
The campus also supports the journeys of artists and
humanitarians through the facilities of Mason Gross School
of the Arts, the nationally prominent Eagleton Institute of
Politics, the Institute for Women’s Leadership, and many
academic departments in the School of Arts and Sciences.
Features Unique to Douglass

George H. Cook Campus
The George H. Cook campus, with its rural landscape, is an idyllic respite from
urban living and is the location of the School of Environmental and Biological
Sciences (SEBS). SEBS has an extensive record of scienti昀c and agricultural
advancement and leads Rutgers research in science, technology, the environment,
and human impact on the planet. Cook’s living laboratories and experiential
learning spaces—including farms, greenhouses, gardens, and a living wall—are a
hallmark of the academic programs here. Through Cook’s green acres and state-ofthe-art facilities, students address today’s most pressing problems related to the
environment, climate, agriculture, food systems, and more.
