Hello everyone,

I have recently been hearing rumors about Rutgers. I have heard, from students and instructors, that Rutgers is on the verge of losing its credibility some of its science departments such as chemistry and pharmaceutical departments. Has anyone else heard about this? This made me very concerned because my son is looking to major in this field.

No, they have a great pharmacy as well as nursing programs. Good luck to your son!

Rutgers is a great school that employers in New Jersey know well. They do tons of research and its a well established school with a great reputation.

I cant really fathom how they would be "not credible" in any major course of study they offer.

Just the professor's union trying to cause problems so that they can get more funding and salary with less hours of actual teaching

Some of the programs may be due for re-accreditation. Those rumors seem to spring up when that time rolls around.

Rutgers' academic credibility will only increase with the absorption of UMDNJ and by joining the Committee on Institutional Cooperation offered by the B1G (basically the academic component of the conference).

Rutgers pharmacy is excellent. The school certainly isn't what it used to be when Rutgers College was around, but you should feel confident that the pharmacy school is top notch. There is a Rutgers professor who pops in here every now and then. The University is at no risk at losing its credibility.
