As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, an appreciation and understanding of different cultures is essential. At Rutgers–Camden, our students enjoy a rich academic experience and our faculty continues to play an important role in sharing their experiences and knowledge around the world. Rutgers–Camden will continue to enhance our faculty’s existing global research interests and international relationships, build connections with universities around the world, and provide opportunities for our students to experience different cultures. Our global goals are building Rutgers–Camden into a world-class brand.
Austria
For almost 30 years, faculty members at the Rutgers School of Law–Camden have participated in a unique faculty exchange program with Karl-Franzens University, or the University of Graz, the second-largest and second-oldest university in Austria. During the fall semesters, a Graz professor comes to teach at the Rutgers School of Law–Camden, and during the spring semesters, a Rutgers–Camden law professor heads overseas to teach in Austria.
Brazil
The Rugers School of Business–Camden introduces students to Brazilian business practices during a 10-day trip to Rio de Janeiro. On the trip, the students gain an understanding of Brazil's consumer market and business management practices as well as the challenges in an emerging economy while staying in nearby historic towns, where they interact with small and medium-sized enterprises, global companies, government bodies, and community organizations.
Cuba
Rutgers–Camden’s undergraduate and graduate students can earn course credit while studying abroad in Cuba for 10 days. During this incredible learning experience, the students meet Cuban scholars from the University of Havana while exploring social and cultural landmarks of Havana. Courses include perspectives on socio-economic development, community building, and cultural adaptation, as well as Cuban art history and photography.
India
As the United States works to foster higher education ties with India, Rutgers–Camden is committed to doing its part. Rutgers–Camden is exploring partnerships that would allow students from India to earn a Rutgers degree in their home country, as well as to travel to the United States to take classes on the Rutgers–Camden campus. Rutgers–Camden students would also have the opportunity to travel abroad and study at universities in India.
