Rutgers offers a variety of innovative programs designed to make the most educationally and economically effective use of resources, enabling students to challenge themselves and complete degree requirements at an accelerated pace. Many of these programs are described in section 5 (continuing education, joint programs with other institutions, partnerships with K-12, and partnerships with business, industry, and government). Apart from these, Rutgers has a variety of other innovative programs. For example, undergraduate students pursuing professional programs first affiliate with an undergraduate college, taking a wide variety of arts and sciences for the first two years, before entering the professional school, where they take a concentration in their field of study; a number of programs exist in which the undergraduate programs articulate directly into graduate programs (e.g. the Master of Accounting in the School of Business); and interdisciplinary programs take full advantage of faculty resources in a number of departments (e.g. Women's Studies, Medieval Studies, and, soon to be established, Jewish Studies). Innovative graduate programs include the Master of Science in International Studies, and the Master of Arts in Global Studies. In addition, the Citizenship and Service Education program integrates public service and regular coursework. The result of this linking is to instill in students enrolled in the program a strong and committed sense of civic responsibility. Rutgers will continue to examine the way it offers programs and courses in an effort to provide the most effective education possible. These efforts, particularly interinstitutional and interdisciplinary ones, will be expanded in the future. |
