Rutgers University has revolutionized the structure of undergraduate education on its New Brunswick campus. The undergraduate liberal arts colleges on this campus have been consolidated into a new School of Arts and Sciences, and learning goals for a new core curriculum have been established. The new core curriculum itself is a living enterprise, under continuous review and development.
A new Office of Undergraduate Education works in conjunction with the Office of Student Affairs to enhance and enrich our students’ learning and development. Rutgers has created learning communities, first-year experiences, and new small enrollment seminars to bring the meaning and value of studying at a research university to students as soon as possible in their educational experience at the university.
Existing organizational entities, notably the Office of Institutional Research and Academic Planning, the Office of Organizational Development and Leadership, and the Center for Teaching Advancement and Assessment Research, coordinate efforts, and provide support and expertise across the university for planning, assessment and organizational management. A position in teaching and assessment has been created and a learning outcome assessment structure was implemented to share best practices in learning outcomes assessment, provide resources and coordination across schools and departments, and offer insight and assistance in planning assessment strategy.
