The Big Ten Experience
Learn, research, compete, and connect on a national stage alongside some of the country’s leading universities while staying rooted in the access, opportunity, and public impact that define Rutgers.
Built for Big Moments
Rutgers competes in one of the nation’s most recognized conferences, expanding the university’s visibility, reach, and impact on a national stage. From athletics to academics, the Big Ten experience connects Rutgers students and faculty to a larger network of opportunity that extends far beyond campus.
Big Ten Athletics
Nationally televised games, historic rivalries, and major conference competition put Rutgers athletics on one of college sports’ biggest stages. From football Saturdays to postseason play across the year, Big Ten athletics bring tradition, intensity, and Scarlet pride to the Rutgers experience.
Big Ten Research
Through the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), Rutgers students and faculty collaborate with researchers across the country, combining expertise and resources to tackle challenges too great for any one institution alone. Together, Big Ten universities conduct more than $10 billion in funded research each year, driving discoveries that shape lives around the world.
Big Ten Academics
The Rutgers experience reaches far beyond New Brunswick. Through the Big Ten Academic Alliance, Rutgers students can access world-class library collections, study rare languages, join traveling scholar and summer research programs, and connect with peers and faculty across the country.
In Good Company
Rutgers–New Brunswick is also a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), connecting students and faculty to a network of leading research universities across the country.
