About Rutgers University
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, embodies the historical development of higher education in the United States. From its colonial inception as Queen's College in 1766, the institution grew to become Rutgers College in 1825. In 1864 it was designated the state's land-grant institution. Assuming university status in 1924, it was further transformed by legislative acts in 1945, and in 1956 the institution became Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. 1989 marked another historic milestone when the university became a member of the Association of American Universities
(AAU), connoting its position as one of the major public comprehensive research universities in the U.S., and the only one of its kind in New Jersey.
