Why come study at Rutgers?

How many people can say they were part of the team that sailed the first underwater robot across the Atlantic Ocean? Rutgers students can-- and do!
How can you get involved? Rutgers students can team up with Professors throughout the IMCS to do great research as illustrated by the undergraduates that anchor Rutgers Glider Program!

Congratulation Paul!
