- Opportunities in every School and department to take courses and pursue research in whatever fields you choose.
- First-Year Seminars (called The Byrne Seminars) that introduce you to the research of Rutgers faculty and allow you to explore areas of academic interest that may set you off on new career paths: race and biomedicine, music in the middle ages, 19th century literature at Rutgers’ rare books library, New Jersey's shore and climate change, and many more.
- Learning Communities and Special Interest Housing that allow you to integrate your academic interests and goals with your residential life on campus.
- The Douglass Residential College that offers women students extensive academic and co-curricular opportunities: the Global Village, language houses for immersion in a foreign language, cultural houses, human rights houses—all continuing the traditions of New Jersey’s only residential college for women.
- The Aresty Research Center for Undergraduates that invites you to work collaboratively with faculty on cutting-edge research, and encourages faculty from across the disciplines to become undergraduate mentors, leading to engaged student-faculty scholarship.
- School of Arts and Sciences advising centers on each campus where you can receive information about courses and major requirements, and which complement the advising offered in the departments of your major.
- Learning Centers on each of the campuses that provide extra assistance and tutoring for your academic courses.
- A Fellowships and Postgraduate Guidance Office in the Old Queen's Building that works with you to identify graduate and professional schools that are right for your intellectual and career interests; and that assists you in applying for competitive national fellowships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, and Fulbright.
- A Study Abroad Office that supports all aspects of planning your study abroad, helping you to enrich your undergraduate education by faciliating your living and learning in a foreign culture.
- A Career Services office that provides counseling and resources as you explore college majors, develop career plans, search for internship and full-time employment opportunities, and research graduate school plans.
