A Rutgers education goes far beyond our campus.

If you’re in a Rutgers doctoral program in an arts, sciences, or education field and have completed at least one year of full-time study toward your Ph.D., you’re eligible for the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium: an initiative that lets students from participating schools take classes at several host institutions.

How it works

You’ll register and pay tuition through Rutgers. But while you’re attending courses at a host institution, you’ll be governed by their academic policies (although you’ll still adhere to the Rutgers policy of a one-year course completion window if you receive a grade of incomplete in any course at your host institution).

Host institutions include:

  • Columbia University, GSAS (see special instructions)

  • CUNY Graduate Center

  • Fordham University GSAS

  • Graduate Faculty, New School University

  • New York University, GSAS

  • Princeton University-The Graduate School

  • School of Graduate Studies, Rutgers University

  • Stony Brook University

  • Teachers College, Columbia University
