Winter Session is open to undergraduate or graduate students currently attending Rutgers University or students who are enrolled in another college or university, as well as applicants who are not pursuing a degree but are interested in attending for personal enrichment or professional development. High school students are encouraged to visit our summer session website in spring 2024 to find out more information about our Summer Edge Program.
