Where the Main Campus Meets Mainstream

 

From College Avenue, over the Raritan River, to our medical school on the Rutgers Busch Campus, our unique teaching programs integrate art and popular culture into the cutting edge of education. If art imitates life, and life is the experience of human behavior, then it stands to reason that art is central to the study of human behavior. Whether its data presented at national meetings or articles published in medical journals, you will certainly agree that Robert Wood Johnson Medical School offers an educational experience like no other.
