Drew University
Drew University, founded in 1867 originally as a Methodist theological seminary, has grown into a small liberal arts university whose wooded, 186-acre campus in Madison, New Jersey has earned it the nickname "the University in the Forest." The university maintains three distinct schools under one roof — a liberal arts college, a theological seminary, and a graduate school — an unusual combination that lets undergraduates cross-register into graduate-level theology and religious studies coursework not typically available at comparably sized liberal arts colleges. Drew's Semester on Wall Street and Semester on the United Nations programs give students direct, immersive access to financial and international policy institutions in nearby New York City, reflecting the university's deliberate emphasis on experiential learning tied to its location within commuting distance of Manhattan. The university's small size, fewer than 1,500 undergraduates, and its combination of a rustic, forested campus with direct programmatic access to New York City's financial and diplomatic institutions have made Drew a distinctive, if lesser-known, choice among New Jersey's private liberal arts colleges.
VS
Rutgers University
Rutgers University, founded in 1766, is the eighth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and New Jersey's flagship public research university, having originally been chartered as Queen's College before later becoming the state's designated land-grant institution. The university's enrollment across its combined New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden campuses exceeds 67,000 students, making it one of the largest university systems in the country, and Rutgers' proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia gives students access to two major metropolitan job markets simultaneously. Rutgers' pharmacy, social work, and criminal justice programs have each built strong national reputations, and the university's status as a major public research institution funded in part by New Jersey's significant pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has shaped particular strength in the life sciences. The university's membership in the Big Ten athletic conference since 2014, alongside far larger Midwestern flagship universities, reflected a deliberate institutional strategy to raise Rutgers' national athletic and academic profile, positioning it among a group of major public research universities well beyond its traditional Northeastern peer group.
