The Graduate School-Newark is dedicated to the advancement of scientific and human knowledge in an environment that encourages scholarly inquiry and intellectual growth. Graduate students are expected to develop the analytical and creative skills required for original scholarship, research, and problem solving, as well as a thorough understanding of an academic discipline.

Before the creation of a separate graduate school at Rutgers in Newark, the Graduate School-New Brunswick administered graduate programs in the arts and sciences on the Newark campus. By the 1950's, master's and doctoral programs in psychology were added. Between 1965 and 1972, master's-level graduate programs were established in economics, English, geological sciences, history, and political science.

The Graduate School-Newark, with its own faculty and dean, was established in December,1975, and has continued to grow. Master's programs in liberal studies, nursing, public administration, biology, behavioral and neural sciences, chemistry, global studies, international studies, and applied physics, and Ph.D. programs in chemistry, criminal justice, biology, behavioral and neural sciences, management, nursing, mathematical sciences, applied physics, and public administration round out the current offerings.

The M.A. and M.A.T. in history, the M.S. and Ph.D. in applied physics, the M.S. and Ph.D. in biological sciences, and the Ph.D. in mathematical sciences are offered jointly with the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
