Annual Admitted Graduate Open House

The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy will be hosting our annual Admitted Graduate Student Open House Days on March 31st and April 1st this year. To provide admitted students with the most flexibility, we are offering TWO different modalities for our Open House Days to choose from. On March 31st, 2025, we will be hosting a VIRTUAL Open House day online and then on April 1st, we are hosting an IN-PERSON Open House day for those wishing to visit the Bloustein School in person. Please note that we will be covering the SAME topics/materials at both Open House Days. If you are an admitted student for fall 2025 to our master’s programs in urban planning, public policy, public informatics, and health administration, we welcome you to join us at one of these Open House Days. One great thing about having two Open House Days to choose from is that it allows you the flexibility to participate from anywhere in the world and attend the day that best meets your needs and availability!
 
Our Open House events will cover identical topics on both days and will provide admitted students to our master’s programs in Public Policy, Urban Planning, Public Informatics and Health Administration the opportunity to speak with faculty, and current students, and learn about our academic programs, student housing options, career services support as well as funding options available to them upon joining the institution.
 
The Bloustein School offers this event for admitted fall 2025 students in these programs only.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact openhouse@ejb.rutgers.edu.
