Douglass Residential College, part of Rutgers University-New Brunswick, is an undergraduate, non degree granting higher education program of Rutgers University-New Brunswick that is specifically for women. It succeeded the liberal arts degree-granting Douglass College after it was merged with the other undergraduate liberal arts colleges at Rutgers-New Brunswick to form the School of Arts and Sciences in 2007. Originally named the New Jersey College for Women when founded in 1918 as a degree granting college, it was renamed Douglass College in 1955 in honor of its first dean. Now called Douglass Residential College, it is no longer a degree granting unit of Rutgers, but is a supplementary program that female undergraduate students attending the Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate schools may choose to join. Female students enrolled at any of the academic undergraduate schools at Rutgers–New Brunswick, including, e.g., the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Mason Gross School of the Arts, may now also enroll in Douglass Residential College, which offers special enrichment and career preparation experiences, special projects, and educational and service travel, and at which they must satisfy additional requirements specific to the college. Douglass seeks to provide the benefits of a close-knit small community of women students and offers programs specially designed to help women students to identify their unique abilities and develop confidence. These programs include, for example, a strong emphasis on opportunities to participate in service/learning trips in foreign countries, support for and expansion of racial and cultural diversity, and a wide range of training and enrichment activities offered by a career and leadership development center known as the "BOLD" Center (acronym for Building Opportunities for Leadership and Career Development).

The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) is a constituent school within Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey's flagship New Brunswick-Piscataway campus.

The Levi D. Jarrard House is a historic building located on the Douglass College campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It was constructed in 1868 by an unknown architect, as a private residence for Levi D. Jarrard. Levi D Jarrard, was acting as Postmaster of New Brunswick from 1881-1883, but was previously employed as a New Jersey State Senator as well as the Middlesex County Collector. In 1883 he was found to have embezzled approximately $20,000, and had fled to Canada with the funds, leaving his family to struggle with payments on the house. The house was then purchased by John N. Carpender, who would later lease it to the New Jersey College for Women. This historical building is a well-preserved example of the large brownstone villas that populated New Brunswick during the late nineteenth century; one of the porches has since been enclosed, but the house remains otherwise unaltered. Brown sandstone has been a common building material in New Brunswick for almost 200 years, beginning with 18th and 19th century houses and late public buildings, shaping the civic appearance of New Brunswick. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1982 for its significance in architecture and politics/government.

Albus Cavus is a collective of artists and educators who transform public spaces with creativity. Originally, it was established as an underground art gallery and presentation space in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. Albus Cavus, which means "white cave" in Latin, was originally started in September 2002 as a small basement exhibit space that gradually grew into a large artist collective that spans far beyond New Jersey. By forming a network of relationships that includes the city government, schools, and businesses, it provides the artists with projects that benefit the local community. Public art installations and murals beautify the neighborhoods and provide the residents with the feeling of ownership and responsibility for their surroundings. Albus Cavus aims to make art readily accessible to all. This simple idea at the beginning has become the primary mission. The artists working with Albus Cavus recognize the new needs for modern art that educates and enlightens the audience. And the viewers do not play the passive role of critics but become actively involved in the artwork creation.
