Philadelphia & Southern NJ Region

Located almost equidistant from Washington, D.C. and New York City and ten minutes across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Rutgers University’s Campus at Camden provides graduate students in Public Policy and Administration with convenient access to major historical, cultural and governmental resources in the Northeast Corridor. Less than an hour’s drive from the Jersey Shore and the Pinelands National Reserve designated the nation's first National Reserve and a United Nations International Biosphere Reserve, students can enjoy remarkable recreation and outdoor activities in a diverse metropolitan region. Camden itself is the home to Campbell Soup Corporation and the original headquarters for RCA Victor Corporation, whose historic manufacturing facilities now serve as loft apartments in the heart of a revitalizing waterfront. The redevelopment of Camden and its surrounding environment offer excellent first hand research opportunities in issues of community and regional development.
