The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy will be hosting a Virtual Graduate Admitted Student Open House on Wednesday, March 31, 2021. If you are an admitted student for fall 2021 in our graduate programs in urban planning, public policy and public informatics, we welcome you to join us. One great thing about a virtual open house it allows you the flexibility to participate from anywhere in the world, and attend the sessions that best meet your needs!
Our virtual open house will be similar to the in-person event and will still provide admitted students to our masters (public policy/urban planning/public informatics) and doctoral programs the opportunity to speak with faculty, 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 2021 students in these programs only. If you have any questions, feel free to contact openhouse@ejb.rutgers.edu.
RSVP by Monday, March 29. The Zoom link for Open House will be emailed directly to all that have RSVP’d prior to the event.
