Big City Research University, Close-Knit Community

A world-class research university, transformational community partnerships, and personalized, real-world learning opportunities. The Rutgers experience, traditions, and prestige all on a charming campus, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. That’s Rutgers University–Camden.

Opportunity and Access to a World-Class Education

For its services for student veterans and their families, Rutgers–Camden was the first school in New Jersey to be named a Purple Heart University. In 2021, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy honored Rutgers–Camden with the We Value Our Veterans Award for its many educational, financial, and other services for former military personnel.

This game-changing financial aid program enables in-state students with family incomes below $65,000 to attend the university tuition-free and reduces tuition and fees for students with family incomes below $100,000.
