History

1973The College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Board of Trustees approved a concept document for the establishment of the CMDNJ-School of Allied Health Professions (CMDNJ-SAHP).

1976The document was approved by the New Jersey Department of Higher Education and the School became a separate entity within the University offering eleven certificate programs on the Newark Campus.

1981To better reflect its broadened scope, the SAHP became the CMDNJ-School of Health Related Professions.

1987The School applied to the New Jersey Board of Higher Education to seek degree-granting authority.

Currently, over 1700 full and part-time students are enrolled in the Rutgers School of Health Related Professions. The School offers educational

programs online and across four Rutgers campuses: Health Sciences at Newark, Piscataway, Scotch Plains, and Stratford. In addition, the School

offers non-matriculated courses and certificate programs through the Center for Advanced and Continuing Education.

1988The School attained approval and initiated a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Sciences with nine collaborating public and independent colleges.

1992The Flexibility Legislation of 1992 enabled the University to extend its degree granting authority to include all undergraduate programs.

2013The New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act went into effect, integrating Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, with all units of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), except University Hospital in Newark and the School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford.

TodayThe Rutgers School of Health Related Professions is composed of 40 academic programs and numerous specializations within the programs housed in nine departments. Many of these programs are possible through joint efforts with other colleges and universities throughout New Jersey.
