 CAMDEN --  Individuals who live and work in southern New Jersey shoreline communities may now pursue undergraduate and graduate Rutgers degrees in their region, thanks to an innovative partnership between Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Atlantic Cape Community College.

An open house for this Rutgers degree program will be held in Building C at Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 12.

Rutgers currently offers seven degree-granting programs at Atlantic Cape Community College’s Atlantic County campuses:  bachelor’s programs in criminal justice, general science, liberal studies, political science, psychology, and hospitality management; and the master of business administration (MBA) program.  A master’s program in liberal studies will be introduced in spring 2009.
