The Rutgers University iSchool Welcomes PhD Applications for Fall 2016


The Library & Information Science Department in the School of 
Communication & Information at Rutgers University, Rutgers’ iSchool, 
invites creative and forward-thinking individuals to apply for the Ph.D. 
in Library and Information Sciences.

Located in New Brunswick, NJ, within 90 minutes drive/train to both NYC 
and Philadelphia, Rutgers University’s iSchool provides an excellent 
environment for research in such areas as:

Human Information Behavior;
Information Retrieval, Language and Communication;
Information Agencies and Artifacts;
Learning, Youth, Information and Technology; and
Social and Community Informatics.

The school includes world-renowned faculty who lead and teach in these 
areas. Their accomplishments are reflected in a large pool of scholarly 
publications, awards and grants. Faculty have secured nearly *$20 
million in grant funding* in recent years.

Application deadline for Fall 2016 enrollment: *Jan. 15, 2016*

Most students admitted to the PhD program receive multiple years of 
funding in the form of research and teaching assistantships. The 
excellent funding package includes a full tuition and student fees 
waiver, full medical+dental coverage and a competitive yearly stipend.

A colonial school, Rutgers will celebrate it’s 250th anniversary in 
2016. There are 18 schools and colleges (including a medical school) on 
2,688 acres across New Jersey. We are among the *top 25 
public universities*, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. We are an 
NCAA Division I School and a member of the Big Ten and Committee on 
Institutional Cooperation.

Our location in central New Jersey and close proximity to New York City 
makes us ideally suited for scholars exploring all types of libraries 
and information centers, as well as evolving information technologies 
and their users.
