Douglass Residential College

Douglass Residential College is a non-degree-granting program established in 2007 and open to female undergraduate students at any of the degree-granting schools of Rutgers University-New Brunswick. It replaced the liberal arts degree-granting Douglass College which had been opened in 1918. Douglass, originally named New Jersey College for Women, was renamed in 1955 after its founder and first dean, Mabel Smith Douglass.

  • The degree-granting liberal arts Douglass College closed after it was merged with the other undergraduate colleges at Rutgers-New Brunswick in 2007. The non-degree-granting, optional, supplementary program called "Douglass Residential College" that replaced it is open to female undergraduate students at any of the degree-granting schools of Rutgers-New Brunswick.
