Douglass Residential College is the perfect place for women who are interested in a collegiate experience that includes a focus on women’s success and leadership. Since its inception as the New Jersey College for women in 1918, Douglass has been in the forefront of women’s education and achievement. Douglass is a place where your connection to students, deans, staff and alumnae starts before your first semester at Rutgers. From the very beginning you are a part of a supportive, cohesive community that affords individualized attention to help you find your own path.  >>Virtual Tour
